In the magical forest where animals could talk and play, Paddy, the friendly rabbit, hopped around with his friends. His friend’s names were Spot the Ground Hog and Tweet the Bird.
One day they were in a field of tall, green grass playing hide and seek. Once they had found one another, they became thirsty.
“Let’s go to magic pond and get some water,” said Paddy.
“Okay" his friends agreed.
As they walked down a path, Paddy stepped into a root.
“Help me” he cried
So they tried.
Tweet tried to break the root with her beak, but it didn’t work. Spot tried to dig him out, but it also, didn’t work.
They were too busy trying to get him out on their own that they didn't once think of working together.
“Go and find some help, Tweet,” said Paddy
So Tweet jumped into the air in flight, searching for help. She scanned the forest floor until she saw a turtle. She dived through the air towards the ground and the turtle, seeing a mysterious bird flying towards him, hid in his shell.
“Please Mr. Turtle, I could sure use your help” Tweet’s little voice said
Slowly, realizing she wasn’t any harm, the turtle came out of his shell.
“What can I help you with?” asked old turtle.
“My friend is stuck and I can’t get him out.” Tweet said “Neither could my other friend.”
“It seems you have a problem, then. Let me tell you a story.” Mr. Turtle said
“I don’t have time for a story, Mr. Turtle; I need to help my friend.” Tweet said
“This will help your friend, just listen,” Said the wise, old turtle
Back where Paddy and Spot were, Paddy was growing tired of being stuck, so he told Spot to go and get help too.
Spot used his claws and sped underground, searching for help.
As he dug, he broke through someone else’s tunnel.
“Who goes there?” A deep voice echoed.
“My name is Spot and I need help,” he said, getting frightened
A dark figure came walking through the shadows and into the little bit of light that came from the tunnel that Spot dug.
“Who are you?” Spot asked
“My name is mole. What are you doing in my tunnel?” the stranger replied, grumpily.
“My friend is stuck and I can’t get him out.” Spot said “Neither could my other friend. can you help me?”
“No, I can’t go into the sunlight, it hurts my eyes.” Said the mole “You did try teamwork, didn’t you?”
“What’s teamwork?” asked Spot
“Teamwork is when you work together to get something done.” Mole said
“So you’re saying if I work together with my friend, we can help Paddy?” Spot asked
“Yes, Now go on, help your friend.” Mole said
Back where Tweet was, Mr. Turtle was just finishing up his story.
“So you see, when you use teamwork, you can do anything.” Mr. Turtle said
“Really, I can?” Tweet said
“Yes. Now hurry along little one, help your friend get out from that root” Mr. Turtle said
“Okay.” she said with excitement
She jumped into the air once more, hovering over Mr. Turtle.
“Thank you,” she said, flying off into the sky.
She flew as fast as she could to get to paddy and when she got there Spot was already waiting.
“Hurry, Tweet,” Spot said “We have to use team work.”
“How did you know?” Tweet asked
“Mole told me.” Said Spot
“Well, then let’s get Paddy out” Tweet replied
Tweet started pecking the root and, at the same time, Spot started pushing on paddy’s side. After only a minute, with both friends working together, paddy’s foot slipped through the root, freeing him.
“I’m free, I’m free” Paddy shouted “Thank you, guys!”
“Don’t thank us,” they said. “Thank teamwork.”
They hopped, glided, and walked away, into the sunset.
