Every morning, he would chirp a lovely tune.

One day, Curtis saw a girl with a purple shirt.

She was looking up at him with a big grin.

The girl had a squirt gun and was set to have fun.

Curtis felt a bit of fear, but he decided to stay firm.

The girl aimed the squirt gun and water splashed on Wilbur.

With a quick whirl, Wilbur was able to dodge it.

Wilbur then chose to pull a prank on the girl.

He went to the puddle, dipped himself, and wiggled. Droplets went all over the girl.

The girl smiled and said, 'You have a funny quirk, bird.'

Wilbur felt happy and went to return to his branch.

From then, Wilbur spent a lot of time with the girl.

And so, their friendship continued to grow, just like the sturdy branch Curtis lived on.

Days turned into weeks and weeks into months.

Curtis and the girl maintained their firm friendship.

One day, the girl didn't come to play.

Curtis felt a pang of hurt but decided to wait.

Finally, the girl returned wearing a new purple shirt.

Curtis chirped happily, their friendship as sturdy as ever.
