The sun comes up slowly. The sky is soft and pink. The stones on the bridge are getting warm. Good morning, Little Stone Bridge.

Here comes a visitor. Waddle, waddle, waddle. He has a bright orange beak. Quack, quack! says Waddle the Duckling.

A tiny friend flies down from the sky. She lands on the bridge rail. Tweet, tweet! says Flutter the Sparrow.

A quiet sound comes from the grass. Tip-tap, tip-tap. A prickly friend arrives. Sniff, sniff! says Tippy the Hedgehog.

Waddle and Flutter stand in the middle of the bridge. They look at the clear water. They listen to the splish-splash of the stream.

Tippy and Waddle find colorful flowers by the stones. The flowers are bright and fresh. The flowers smell so sweet, says Tippy.

Flutter and Tippy feel a soft breeze. The wind blows gently through the trees. The wind is so cool, says Flutter.

The sun is high and bright now. It makes the bridge stones feel nice and toasty. Waddle sits down to rest on a warm stone.

Tippy and Waddle watch the water together. They see tiny fish swimming fast. It is so much fun to watch them go!

Flutter and Waddle smile at their friends. The little stone bridge loves its morning guests. Being together is the best way to start the day.
