Her name is Rozzy McFinney:
She is a silly old gal who would sit with the birds and enjoy her wondrous life.
Rozzy McFinney was a chatty little girl talking every minute of the day. She would often be seen with food flying out of her mouth. The other little birds sat in amazement staring at this curious pretty, petite bird. Rozzy loved to eat with her plump little friends, sharing and foraging food everyday.
Rozzy was loved by all.
“Rozzy come fly with us” one of the feathered gang explained! “Okay”, said Rozzy so excitingly that she almost fell off the branch. Rozzy’s love for flying was even more fun than eating with friends. “Let me press my nose and watch my gossamer wings bud”, Rozzy would shout. “Will you teach me to fly like you”? Rozzy was only a child among her peers, but smarter than the smarty pants in school that we all know in school!
“Watch Rozzy, here comes a plane”! “Fly lower, don't want your wings to get caught”, screamed Tatty. Tatty is Rozzy’s teacher who would brag about his star pupil.
You knew when Tatty would be proudly speaking of Rozzy. His barrel red chest would pop out even further and his hands would wave in the air. Even his eyes would get as big as the biggest acorn when he spoke about Rozzy.
As Rozzy and her friends soared the countryside, they would be in awe watching children below play, and run in their races. Flying for hours with her feathered friends made the crowd very hungry indeed.
So they all decided to swoop down on the warm brown earth and eat boysenberries then snooze for a while. As the sun began dropping in the sky, back to our home we flew.
Home sweet home at last! Settling in for the night all snuggled together.
Rozzy we are so happy and excited you chose us to sit among the stars at night and fly into the sun at day said Tatty s so proudly!
“But why and why do you love me so”? “Rozzy McFinney, you are a silly old gal and that is one of the reasons why we all love you so”! “You are kind, and generous and always helping us whenever you can”! “We all love you with our heart and soul”!
“You are our little angel we prayed for every night”! “What do you mean” said Rozzy with delight. “Rozzy you are not a little girl, nor are you just a bird, but an angel in disguise training with us birds”! She was so dizzy with this new information.
“Do you mean we live in heaven”, said Rozzy. “Yes”, exclaimed Tatty.
And this is how it rained for the first time on earth. Rozzy was so overwhelmed with joy that her big brown eyes swelled up with water and tears fell to earth. And they fell, and they fell.
So now when you are sad about rain ruining your day, you will think of Rozzy in heaven crying for joy and that will turn your frown into a smile!
