Her home was in a cozy cave near a clear, blue river. Christie loved to roam around the woods and hills and enjoyed the fresh air and songs of birds.

One sunny day, Christie woke up and stretched her long legs. "Today I will climb the highest peak and look at the view," she said with a grin.

Christie packed her smallest bag with some food and a bottle of water. She started her hike and hiked over a small stream.

As the day grew longer, the hiking path became smaller and harder to cross. The path was rocky and steep but Christie was strong.

She leapt over logs and climbed big boulders with ease. The air smelled like pine and the sun felt warm on her fur.

Halfway up the mountain, she heard a loud "Ouch!" She followed the sound and found a small bird trapped in a thorny bush.

"Oh no, are you okay?" Christie asked. The bird with a hurt wing looked up with teary eyes. "I am hurt and cannot fly," said the bird, starting to cry.

Christie knew she had to help. "Don't worry, little bird, I will get you out and take you to Dr. Owl. He is the best at helping hurt animals."

Christie carefully bit some thorns, breaking them apart and gently lifted the up the bird. She then finished her climb up the trail. The trail was even steeper but she was set on helping this bird. She kept her pace slow and steady, careful not to hurt the bird.

As they hiked higher up the mountain, the trees got taller and they passed colorful flowers that got brighter and brighter. Finally, they reached Dr. Owl's home, a cozy treehouse.

"Dr. Owl, I need your help!" Christie called out. Dr. Owl flew down and saw the hurt bird. "Oh dear, let me take a look," he said. He checked the bird's wing carefully.

"It's a bad sprain but with some rest and care it will heal." Dr. Owl gave the bird a small splint to help relieve the pain. "Thank you, Dr. Owl. You are the smartest doctor," said Christie.

Dr. Owl smiled and said, "You are the bravest panther for bringing the bird here. Now, let's get the bird some food and a cozy nest to rest."

They made the softest bed for the bird out of moss and leaves and gave the bird some seeds and water.

Christie stayed with the bird for a while and then decided to finish her mountain climb before heading home.

As she climbed higher and higher up the mountain, the air became clearer and clearer. Finally, she reached the highest peak. Christie felt like she was on top of the world.

The view was the clearest and widest she had ever seen. She saw a river winding through the valley and the trees swaying in the breeze. It was the nicest view she had ever seen.

Christie felt a great sense of peace. She stayed up there for a while until the sun set, and then found a safer path back down to her cozy cave.

She felt content and braver than ever knowing that she had helped a bird in need. She closed her eyes with a smile, ready for the next day.
