Once upon a time, a little blue bird took birth in a big nest along with his 3-4 brothers and sisters. All of them were tiny and of different colours. Soon all of them began to fly up in the sky, except the tiny blue bird. The mama bird was very happy for her kids, but she was worried about the bluebird.
She used to encourage him every day, but the blue bird was too afraid. One day the mama bird asked him "Why don't you just go and try to fly, we are birds and meant to fly. Don't you wonder what amazing things lie in the outside world?" The blue bird replied while watching his siblings fly, "I am very curious to know and see the outside world, my curiosity increases every day. But I am just a little bit afraid of flying."
At night everyone slept peacefully, just except the blue bird as he was lost in thoughts of the world outside. He whispered, "What could be out there, how does it look and feel?" He went by his mother and asked "Mama what lies outside the nest?' Mama bird replied "Nothing! Now go to sleep."
The poor blue bird took his mom's word seriously. All night he wondered " What does nothing look like? is it high up? or is it low? Is nothing here? or is it anywhere there?" The next morning mama bird found out that the tiny blue bird was missing from the nest. Everyone wondered where he went.
The bluebird stepped out of the nest for the first time and began looking for nothing. He wondered "where lies nothing? Is it on the left? or right maybe?" He stopped near a small pond and met a green bird. The green birds asked, " What are you looking for dear bird?" The bluebird replied "Nothing!" he replied with curiosity. The green bird then asked the tiny bird to join him. And both of them flew into the sky.
Later they came across a big flock of colourful bright birds. The flock asked them, " What are you finding dear birds?” They replied "Nothing". The flock then invited both of them to join in. They happily agreed and went away with the flock.
Bluebird along with all the other birds. He flew high up and low, he flew here and there. The bluebird said to himself " Wow! it feels amazing to fly" while flickering his wings high in the sky. He even forgot about his fear of flying with them.
By the evening the bluebird went home, where everyone was extremely worried. The mama bird asked 'Where were you all this time, and what did you see?' The bluebird smiled and replied excitedly "Nothing".
