Episode 15: Dicky Birds

Mother Goose tells the goslings the story of two Dicky Birds.

Story
There once was :a princess who loved birds. Her father, the king, stocked the royal garden with all the finest birds in the kingdom for her to enjoy, there were even plants shaped like birds. One day two little dicky birds landed on the garden wall. The birds, named Peter and Paul, soon made friends with the princess and she welcomed the two birds to come and stay in the garden.

But when the princess left to tell her father of her new friends, the other snobish birds looked down upon the dicky birds for being so plain. Soon The Royal Gardener, feeling the dicky birds weren't worthy to stay in the garden, told Peter and Paul to fly away and never come back. The princess was furious when she discovered that the gardener had bannished her new friends, and so she sent the gardener out to find the birds he had shewed away.

He searches high and low for the birds. Finally, after days of searching, he comes upon them, depressed from being rejected and sadly sipping water from a pool. He asks Peter and Paul to come back to the royal garden to live with the princess. Excited about the news, the two birds quickly fly back to the castle where they reunite with the princess.
