Olly the Ostrich’s Speedy Surprise
Large text for little eyes.
One sunny morning, the savannah animals gathered for news. The meerkats squeaked, “A rainstorm is coming! Someone must warn the animals at the far watering hole!”
The lion asked, “Who’s the fastest runner?”
All eyes turned to Olly the ostrich. His legs were like springs, and he could zoom faster than a zebra on roller skates.
“I’ll do it!” Olly squawked proudly. “Leave it to me!”
The Rocky Race
Olly sprinted across the dry ground, dust flying behind him. But suddenly, thud! a pile of rocks blocked his path.
“No problem!” Olly chirped. He leapt high, flapped his tiny wings, and tumbled over the rocks like a bouncing ball.
“Ta-da! Speed and style!” he said, landing with a wobble.
The Splashy Detour
Next, Olly reached a muddy river. Crocodiles grinned at him from the water.
“Going somewhere, speedy bird?” one teased.
Olly gulped. “Yes… but not through you!”
He grabbed a big leaf, hopped on, and paddled across with his long legs sticking out like oars. The crocodiles laughed so hard they forgot to chase him.
“Thanks for the ferry ride!” Olly called.
The Speedy Surprise
Finally, Olly reached the far watering hole, out of breath but grinning.
“The rainstorm is coming!” he shouted.
The animals cheered. “Hooray for Olly, the fastest ostrich messenger!”
Olly puffed out his feathers. “And the funniest, too!”
From that day on, whenever the savannah needed urgent messages, they didn’t just count on Olly’s speed; they counted on his silly style to make every race an adventure.
The End !
