The Magic Feather
y was no ordinary bird; she had a heart full of dreams and a spirit that yearned for adven
ture. Her most cherished dream was to see the far - off mountains that stood tall on the h
orizon, their peaks touching the clouds.One sunny morning, as Lily was fluttering among th
e branches, she noticed a strange glint under a bush. Curiosity getting the better of her,
she flew down to investigate. There, she found a magnificent golden feather. As soon as s
he touched it, the feather began to glow, and a soft, magical voice filled her ears. "This
is a magic feather, Lily. It will grant you one wish, but choose wisely."Lily's mind race
d with possibilities. She thought of all the delicious berries she could have, or a beauti
ful new nest. But then, her eyes turned towards the distant mountains again. "I wish to fl
y over the mountains and see what lies beyond," she said firmly.The magic feather's glow i
ntensified. Suddenly, a gentle wind blew, lifting Lily into the air. The wind carried her
higher and higher, and soon, she was soaring over the treetops. The forest beneath her loo
ked like a vast green carpet, and the rivers were like silver ribbons winding through it.A
s she approached the mountains, the air grew colder, and the wind stronger. But the magic
feather kept her warm and steadied her flight. When she finally reached the top of the hig
hest peak, she gasped in wonder. On the other side of the mountains, there was a land she
had never seen before. There were colorful meadows filled with flowers she had never even
imagined, and a clear blue lake that sparkled like a giant sapphire.Lily spent hours explo
ring this new land. She met friendly creatures, like little squirrels with bright - colore
d tails and birds with the most melodious songs. As the sun began to set, painting the sky
in hues of orange and pink, Lily knew it was time to return home.With a thought, the magi
c feather guided her back over the mountains and towards the forest. When she landed back
in her familiar tree, she looked at the magic feather with gratitude. It had not only fulf
illed her dream but also shown her that there was so much more to the world than she had k
nown.From that day on, Lily would often tell the other animals in the forest about the won
derful land beyond the mountains. And the magic feather remained a precious reminder of he
r great adventure, a symbol of how a single wish, when made with a pure heart, could open
the door to amazing discoveries.
