The Hummingbird

“What would it be like to be a humming bird?” wondered Lilly.
“I don’t know. I think it would be very busy. Humming birds always seem to always be going a mile a minute,” answered Rose.
“Well, I suppose it would be somewhat busy but, they don’t fly all the time. And I think it must be delightful to fly around and drink sweet nectar from the flowers,” said Lilly.
“Yes, and they are beautiful even if they have to be in the right light for you to see their colors,” agreed Rose.
“But, I think I wouldn’t be a humming bird even if it were possible,” Lilly decided.
“Me neither. I believe it’s much better to be content with what God made you,” Rose said.

If you are between the ages of 4-14,(or know someone who likes to write stories)I would like to post your story here. Send me an email. I'd love to read your story!
