The Party in the Sky

The Party in the Sky

A bedtime story for little dreamers

Once upon a time, in a colorful forest filled with songs and laughter, the animals were buzzing with excitement: there was going to be a big party in the sky! Only flying animals were invited, and everyone was thrilled.

The parrot was rehearsing his tunes, the macaw was fluffing up her bright feathers, and the vulture — the eldest — was organizing everything with great care.

But one little animal felt very sad: the turtle, who had no wings.

“Oh, how I wish I could go to that party,” sighed the little turtle as she watched the birds flutter with joy.

Then, she had a rather silly idea. She rushed to the vulture’s home and said:

“Can I help you carry the guitar? Take it carefully up to the sky!”

The vulture agreed, not knowing what she was planning. And off she went — the little turtle tucked herself quietly inside the guitar, not making a sound.

When the time came, the vulture spread his wings and flew high, carrying the heavy guitar. He had no idea the turtle was hiding inside, holding on tightly so she wouldn’t fall!

Up in the sky, the party was magical! There was music, fruit, dancing on clouds — everything was dazzling.

When no one was watching, the turtle slipped out of the guitar and joined the others, dancing and spinning with joy. She was so happy, she forgot she was supposed to be hiding!

But in the middle of the fun, the turtle slipped and— plop! — fell right in the middle of the dance floor. All the birds stopped and stared.

“What’s a turtle doing here?” they asked.

Blushing, the little turtle explained, “I just wanted to dance a little too…”

The birds were upset — she hadn’t been invited. And the vulture was even more upset for being tricked.

“You’ll have to go back on your own!” they said.

The turtle looked down and saw just how far away the ground was. She took a deep breath, filled her lungs with courage, and… jumped!

But just before hitting the ground, she spotted a tree with big, wide leaves and aimed carefully. Thump! She landed on the leaves and bounced all the way down — a little dizzy, but safe and sound.

And from that day on, they say that’s why turtles have flat shells — because of the great fall after the party in the sky!

She also learned something important: being clever can be fun, but respect and friendship matter even more.
