Egg and Pip
There was once a shiny, speckled egg who met a little seed called Pip. Egg and Pip loved being the same size and they soon became the best of friends. They went everywhere together, laughed together and invented games together. Egg believed that they would always stay side by side. One day, something changed. Pip found himself rooted to the spot! Tiny green shoots were reaching down and burrowing into the earth. This meant he could not go anywhere with Egg. Pip’s heart was as heavy as a stone. Just then, Egg started to change too…

Egg soared out across the sunlit valley. The air felt cool and fresh. A sparkling stream curved around an enchanting wood like a ribbon of silver. She swooped, dipped and twittered while the sunlight danced on the water below. It was magical. She had now begun to see just how wide and wonderful the world was. The miles under her wings soon felt heavy and consequently Egg grew tired. She stopped to rest with the gentle stream trickling nearby. She thought of Pip and wished he could be here with her, too.

Egg left the town with its pylons and noise and eventually found the winding stream. She followed it until she finally reached the place she knew best. “Welcome home, Egg!” an eager voice cried. She looked down from the sky and gasped. Pip had completely transformed! He was now a magnificent tree with strong branches and the shiniest leaves. “Pip! You’ve grown!” Egg cried out in disbelief and nestled into a branch. She let the warmth of being home settle into her heart. Egg and Pip knew they would always be there for each other. This was a true friendship. They would always be the best of friends no matter how much they changed.

As she flew onwards, Egg caught the smell of salt on the wind. She soared over a busy town beside the sea. Cars rumbled below her and waves rippled in the distance. Egg landed carefully to perch on a pylon cable. She watched cars zigzagging through the streets below. She giggled at the seagulls diving down to the shore. All the fizzy lights sparkled like glittering stars. Everything was unbelievably exciting and unbelievably loud. Egg missed the quietness of the valley. She missed her friend Pip. That evening, she decided it was time to return home.

One warm afternoon, Egg felt a bit different. She was no longer small and round when Pip spotted her. She had become a little bird with a blue beak and scruffy feathers! Pip was ever so impressed. Egg stretched out and felt the soft breeze rustle her new wings. After a few days, Egg’s wings started growing longer and stronger. She looked at the sky and her heart filled with excitement. “Go and explore, then fly back and tell me all about it,” Pip said. Something inside Egg stirred. She fluttered her feathers and chirped an excited goodbye. She lifted off and let the wind carry her up into the sky.

As she flew onwards, Egg caught the smell of salt on the wind. She soared over a busy town beside the sea. Cars rumbled below her and waves rippled in the distance. Egg landed carefully to perch on a pylon cable. She watched cars zigzagging through the streets below. She giggled at the seagulls diving down to the shore. All the fizzy lights sparkled like glittering stars. Everything was unbelievably exciting and unbelievably loud. Egg missed the quietness of the valley. She missed her friend Pip. That evening, she decided it was time to return home.
Egg soared out across the sunlit valley. The air felt cool and fresh. A sparkling stream curved around an enchanting wood like a ribbon of silver. She swooped, dipped and twittered while the sunlight danced on the water below. It was magical. She had now begun to see just how wide and wonderful the world was. The miles under her wings soon felt heavy and consequently Egg grew tired. She stopped to rest with the gentle stream trickling nearby. She thought of Pip and wished he could be here with her, too.
