Penny’s Pizza

Once upon a time, in the bustling city of Brickville, lived a little pigeon named Penny. Penny wasn’t like the other pigeons who pecked at crumbs and seeds. Penny had a secret: she loved pizza!

One sunny afternoon, a delivery truck zoomed past, and a giant pizza box tumbled onto the sidewalk. It was HUGE – bigger than Penny herself! Penny’s eyes widened. A whole pizza? Just for her? She felt a surge of…joy! But also, a tiny bit of…unease.

“Mine!” she cooed to herself. She puffed out her chest and began to drag the pizza box towards her secret rooftop perch.

Reaching her rooftop, Penny tore open the box. The aroma of melted cheese and pepperoni filled the air. She took a bite. “Mmmph! The BEST pizza EVER!” she mumbled, her beak full. But as she ate, she noticed other pigeons watching her from nearby rooftops.

There was Pip, who always shared his sunflower seeds. And Patty, who helped build the warmest nests. And old Papa Pete, who told the best stories. They looked…sad. Or maybe…hungry?

Penny felt a strange twinge in her tummy. It wasn’t hunger. It felt…guilty.

She remembered how Pip had shared his seeds when she was sick. And how Patty helped her find the softest twigs for her nest. Suddenly, the pizza didn’t taste so good anymore. It tasted…lonely.

Penny took a deep breath. This was hard! But she knew what she had to do.

“Hey!” she called out to the other pigeons. “I have a pizza! A HUGE pizza! And…and I want to share it!”

At first, the other pigeons were surprised. Then, they chirped with delight and flew over to Penny’s rooftop.

They all ate together, sharing stories and laughing. The pizza tasted even better than before. It tasted like friendship and happiness.

Penny realized something important that day. Sharing with friends made everything more delicious. And that, she thought, was the best feeling of all. From that day on, Penny always shared what she had, and she made a lot of very happy friends.
