🪿 Gloria’s Story Corner
A group of young sparrows was trying to learn a new, long flying route. They started strong, but halfway across the field, they grew tired and discouraged. Their little wings drooped, and they wanted to give up.
From high above, Gloria noticed their struggle. She flew down and began to circle them, honking a steady, rhythmic call. "You can do it! Strong wings! Focus ahead! Just a little more! You are not alone!"
Inspired by her booming voice and steady flight, the sparrows found a second wind. They tucked in behind her, following the shape of her steady wings, and made it the rest of the way to the old willow tree.
Exhausted but proud, one sparrow chirped, "Gloria, thank you! Your voice made us strong."
Gloria dipped her head. "We fly best when we cheer loudest for each other. That’s what a flock is for."
That’s Gloria. A courageous leader who uses her voice to lift everyone higher.
