Sammy the Scarecrow

In a sunny field, there stood a friendly scarecrow named Sammy. Sammy wore a big, floppy hat and a colorful shirt. Every day, he waved to the birds flying by, hoping they wouldn’t nibble on the corn.

But Sammy wasn’t just a scarecrow; he was a dreamer! He wished to dance with the wind and play hide-and-seek with the clouds.

One breezy afternoon, the wind whispered secrets to him, and Sammy twirled and spun, making the corn sway along. The birds watched in awe, and from that day on, they became his friends.

Sammy taught everyone that being different is wonderful!
