Dicky Birds-sit

The fifteenth episode of Mother Goose Stories retells the nursery rhyme of "Two Little Dickie Birds."

Story[]

Two little dickie birds sitting on a wall
One named Peter, one named Paul.
Fly away Peter! Fly away Paul!
Come back Peter! Come back Paul!

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 land on the garden wall. The birds, named Peter and Paul, soon make friends with the princess, who welcomes them to stay in the garden.

When the princess leaves to tell her father of her new friends, however, the other snobbish birds look down upon the dicky birds for being so plain. Soon the Royal Gardener, finding the dicky birds unworthy to stay in the garden, tells Peter and Paul to fly away and never come back. The princess is furious when she discovers that the gardener has banished her new friends and sends him to bring them back.

The gardener 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.
