Once upon a time, there was a crow named Crooky who lived in a small village at the edge of a vast forest. Crooky was a proud and noble bird, with glossy black feathers and a sharp, curved beak.
But despite his beauty and strength, Crooky was a very sad crow. He had always been sad, even as a young chick, and no one could figure out why.
One day, Crooky's sadness became too much to bear, and he flew up into the sky, higher and higher, until he reached the clouds. There, he sat and cried, his tears falling down to the earth below.
As he cried, a kind and gentle voice spoke to him. It was the voice of the Great Spirit, who had heard Crooky's cries and had come to offer him comfort.
"Why are you so sad, little crow?" asked the Great Spirit.
Crooky told the Great Spirit about his loneliness and his feelings of isolation. He told her about how he felt like he didn't belong, and how he longed to find a place where he could be happy.
The Great Spirit listened attentively and then said, "I understand your pain, little crow. But do not despair. There is a place where you will find happiness and belonging. It is a place where all creatures are welcome and loved. And it is not far from here."
And with that, the Great Spirit showed Crooky the way to the Land of Joy, a beautiful place where the sun always shone and the birds sang sweet melodies.
Crooky flew to the Land of Joy and was welcomed with open wings. He found friends among the other birds and animals, and he was finally able to let go of his sadness and embrace happiness.
And from that day on, Crooky lived happily ever after in the Land of Joy, surrounded by 💖love and friendship
