Hinahanap - Hanap Ko Siya

Chapter 18

Early every morning, there was once panda who would wake up to the beautiful singing of a bird's sweet voice.

He calls himself, Pandada.

Pandada would go out in the sunshine and search for that particular voice. He wanted to be friends with the bird.

On the first morning, he encountered a red bird.

"Were you the one singing?", asked Pandada.

"I'm sorry", the red bird replied, "but I do not sing."

And he flew off. Pandada was sad. But he decided to search by the next morning.

As he was waking up, he heard the beautiful singing of the bird once again! He made a dash outside and encountered a brown bird.

"Were you the one singing?", asked Pandada.

"I'm sorry", the brown bird replied, "but I do not sing."

And he flew off. Pandada was sad, once again. But he was determined to search no matter what happens.

The next morning... He encountered a purple bird.

"Were you the one singing?", asked Pandada.

"I'm sorry", the purple bird replied, "but I do not sing."

And he flew off. Pandada got sadder. He was close to giving up!

He sat down behind a bamboo tree and dozzed off.

He dreamt of meeting his friend, the bird. He dreamt of listening to it sing songs for him, and he would never grow tired of doing so!

When Pandada opened his eyes, he saw a tiny blue bird resting on his tummy. She's got a broken wing!

He picked up the blue bird carefully and nestled her gently in his hands.

"Hey, are you okay?", he asked. "What happened to you?"

The little blue bird began to stir in his hands.

"I fell off the tree", she replied.

"Were you the one singing?", asked Pandada.

He saw the blue bird smile. "Yes", she answered.

Pandada jumped for joy! At last! He found his friend!

Pandada took care of the blue bird untill her wing healed. He began calling her Biddie. They became good friends.

One night, Pandada saw Biddie crying before going to sleep.

"Why are you crying?", asked Pandada.

"Because my wing is healed", replied Biddie, "and soon I will need to go home. I will be leaving you. And I will miss you."

Pandada got sad. He didn't want Biddie to go. But how could he make her stay? What can he tell her to change her mind?
