Who is in the story?
Read the story Easy English
In a quiet field near a quilt of colorful flowers lived a quail named Quinn. Quinn had a quick and gentle voice that was soft like a whisper. The other quails liked to quack and chatter with loud voices. Some quails questioned Quinn and made quick jokes about him. Quinn felt quite small and unsure. He stayed near the tall grass and watched the sky, wishing his voice could matter.
One day, gray clouds covered the sky and a strong wind blew across the field. A sudden storm began to shake everything. The quails felt scared and confused as their loud calls were lost in the wind. The group began to scatter in different directions. Quinn stayed still and listened carefully to the soft sounds around him. He heard a hidden cave under a hill and wanted to help his friends.
Quinn called to the quails with his soft and gentle voice. At first the others were unsure, but as they came closer, they could hear him clearly. Quinn gently called again and again, leading them step by step through the storm. He guided the quails safely into the quiet cave. Soon the storm passed. The quails thanked Quinn for his quiet strength, and from that day on, they respected him.
