In a rural area named Foxville, there lived a little girl called Sibo.

Sibo stayed with her sick mom and didn't have friends.

She had an angelic voice. Birds responded to her singing.

Sibo woke up early each morning and sang with the birds in the back yard.

The dog would try to sing along with them.

Sibo sang for her mom on happy and sad days.

One morning Sibo woke up and her mom had fallen out of bed. She was very sick.

Sibo ran outside calling to the neighbour for help.

But Mrs Tseko ignored her and went inside.

Sibo ran across the street and shouted, "Mr Sithole, please help, my mom is very sick!"

"Go away, I'm busy," said Mr Sithole.

Sibo kept on running until she came to the tree at the end of the village. She could hear a bird singing a familiar tune.

When Sibo stood under the tree, the singing became louder and clearer.

Sibo began to sing along with the bird.

A sweet voice came from the tree saying, "Sibo, don't worry you're never alone."

The bird flew down from the tree and landed on Sibo's shoulder.

She had never seen such a beautiful bird before. Its feathers shone and sparkled. She asked the bird, "Who are you?"

Sibo added, "Why are you singing my song?"

The bird replied, "I am a friend, I can help you. Pull out one feather from my wing and make a wish."

Sibo gently pulled out a feather, closed her eyes and made a wish.

Sibo said, "I wish people would help us."

When she opened her eyes, she saw a beautiful rainbow and sparkles from the wondrous bird.

The bird said, "Go home, all is well."

Sibo ran home in excitement.

She found Mr Sithole and Mrs Tseko in her yard.

"We are looking after your mother," said Mrs Tseko with a smile.

"Come next door and eat with my family," added Mrs Tseko.

Sibo happily joined the Tseko family.

The magic bird flew over and they all sang together.

It turned out to be a good day!
