The Kind Farmer

Once upon a time, there was a kind farmer named John. He lived in a small village and had a big heart. Every day, he would wake up early, tend to his crops, and help his neighbors.

One day, a little bird flew into John's barn. It had a broken wing and couldn't fly. John gently nursed the bird back to health, feeding it and keeping it safe from harm.
