Once upon a time, in a wonderful corner of the steppe, there was a beautiful Kazakh village. At the edge of the village, there was a large, green forest. Various birds lived there. They chirped in the morning and sang in the evening, living together as friends. However, there was one issue among them: each bird considered its voice to be the strongest and the most beautiful.
One day, a singing sparrow living in the middle of the forest decided to gather all the birds and hold a competition. He aimed to determine which bird sang the best song and award it the "Kind Friend" medal. All the birds were excited and began preparing to participate in the competition.
The first to perform was a beautiful yellow bird – the nightingale. With its sweet voice, it filled the forest with lovely melodies. All the birds listened in awe. "My voice is the best of all!" said the nightingale proudly.
Next, the pheasant stepped up to showcase its talent. It caught the birds' attention with the depth of its voice and unique rhythms. "I am not any less than the nightingale!" it boasted, clapping its wings together.
Then it was the parrot's turn. It spread its bright, colorful feathers and sang a special song, lifting everyone's spirits. "Did you see? My voice is unique!" said the parrot with pride.
After a while, the smallest bird – the sparrow – took the stage with its song. Its voice was very delicate but special. It sang from the heart, telling all the birds about friendship and kindness. "We can all live together, respecting and befriending each other!" said the sparrow.
The sparrow's song reached the hearts of the birds. They listened to the sparrow's words and began to think. They had to choose between friendship and competition. The nightingale, pheasant, and parrot looked at each other and decided to stop the competition and befriend one another.
They agreed to share the "Kind Friend" medal, as suggested by the sparrow. Thus, the birds began to promote kindness and friendship among themselves, living joyfully in the forest. They always supported each other, sang together, and chose friendship over competition.
From that day on, only friendship, kindness, and harmony prevailed among the birds in the forest. They learned to sing not with their voices but with their hearts. In every corner of the forest, on every branch, and in every leaf, the melody of friendship could be heard.
At the end of the tale, children, remember this: competition is temporary, but friendship is eternal! Cherish your friends, be together, for true friendship is the greatest wealth of life!
