Once upon a time in a beautiful forest lived a little mouse, he was a sweet little mouse, and a very funny little mouse...but he was also a curious little mouse...one sunny afternoon he was playing in the forest, after picking some berries for lunch he lay down in the shade of a large oak tree...he was daydreaming about being an astronaut...walking on the moon, and flying through the stars...he was looking up in the sky when he saw a funny looking bird sitting on the branch of the old birch tree, the bird had a bigggg bigggg beak, and large wings...he was a little scared of this odd looking bird, there were many birds in the forest, but none looked like this one...he quietly came a little closer to get a better look, and then he heard a sound, "Waaa, Waaa" called out the odd bird...that’s a funny noise for a bird to make, he thought..."Waa, Waa”. He looked up, and felt a raindrop on his face...but it was sunny, a raindrop?...he heard the sound again, and then realized...the poor bird was crying, it wasn’t rain at all..."Hey birdie up there in the tree, what’s wrong, why are u crying?" he asked with concern..."Waaaa Waaaa" Oh dear he thought...as the bird tucked his head under his wing...Haxley reached into his pocket, and remembered he had some berries left which he gathered in the forest earlier, maybe the funny looking bird was hungry....he carefully climbed the tree to were the bird was sitting...extended his little hand filled with berries to the bird, and asked if he was hungry...the sad bird looked at the berries and shook his head..."Little mouse, I’m a pelican...and I have been flying around for hours, I’m so lost, and hungry, and I just wanna go home!"..."Ohhhh my goodness!" said the little mouse "Where do live?" the pelican looked up and said, "At the beach...and thank you for offering me the berries, but...but..I only eat fish" Haxley got a big smile on his face..."FISH!!...that’s my specialty, I love fishing" he said, "and I love the beach even more!... Come follow me...I will catch you the biggest fish at the frog pond by my house, we can have dinner together, and then after, I will show you the way to the beach!" The pelican was filled with happiness....he gave Haxley the biggest hug..."Thank you, Thank you!" he exclaimed! The pelican and the mouse spend the next few days at the beach, playing in the sand, swimming in the ocean...and fishing together....
