Read the passage carefully:

To advertise here,

In a quiet forest near a river, a young bird named Leo wanted to build a nest at the top of a tall oak tree. He tried to carry thick twigs up to the high branch, but they were too heavy and kept falling down. Observing his struggle, his friends-a swift squirrel and two friendly sparrows-decided to help. The sparrows carried smaller twigs, while the squirrel climbed ahead to weave them firmly into place. Together, they completed a cozy nest before sunset. The wise old owl looked down and said, 'This nest is a home for everyone. It is the symbol of our friendship.' This small event taught all the animals that big goals can be achieved through teamwork.
