Long time ago, in a sun kissed savannah, lived an ostrich named Ollie. Ollie was different from the other ostriches. Ollie's father was an ostrich, while her mom was am eagle. While they were content with blending in, Ollie's vibrant feathers and love for dancing set her apart. Even though the savannah did not feel more like a place for her, she still kept on with what makes her happy; dancing.

The other ostriches would often whisper and point at her, with their long necks bobbing in unison. They would ostracize Ollie, excluding her slways from their gatherings and games.

One day, a severe drought hit the land. Food and water became scarce, feeding became a problem. The ostriches struggled to survive, their usual habits disrupted. Nobody had the time to discuss or gossip about anyone, everyone obviously was interested on how to find a solution to the food and water scarcity that had befallen the land.

Ollie, with her unique perspective and magnificent way of thinking, suggested an unconventional solution. She had observed the humans nearby, studying their water conserving techniques, and had learned how to go about it. Ollie shared her knowledge, proposing a new way to find water and a way out.

The other ostriches scoffed, "What could an outcast like Ollie possibly know?" But desperation drove them to listen, and at the end, they followed her lead. They followed Ollie's advice, and to their surprise, it worked out perfectly well!

As the savannah flourished once more and things went back to it's normal way, the ostriches realized their mistake and how unfair Ollie had 🐝 treated among them. Ollie's differences were not weaknesses; they were strengths and they showcased her uniqueness. They welcomed her back, celebrating her individuality and her uniqueness.

From then on, Ollie danced with pride and joy, her feathers shimmering in the sunlight. The ostriches learned that embracing diversity, valuing unique perspective and promoting equality could lead to remarkable discoveries and brings peace.
