In a distant forest lived a large bear who slept in a cave. He enjoyed his life but he was lonely. One day, he heard a lovely song in the forest and began to look around. 

There on a tree limb sat a beautiful yellow warbler. The bear stopped to listen to her song.

“You have such a pretty voice,” said the bear. 

“Thank you so much!” the bird replied. “I’ve been singing since I was born, I guess. It relaxes me.”

“Could you teach me to sing?”

“Oh my! Well, you have a deep, raspy voice. You don’t seem to have a good singing voice.”

The bear made a face. “But you could teach me.”

“Hmm, let me think about it.” 

The bird sat there, making odd faces for a few moments. Finally, she spoke. “I’m sure you have many talents, but your voice is too deep and raspy. You’ll never be a good singer, but there are lots of other things you could do besides singing.”

The bear was very disappointed. “I don’t seem to have any skills or talents.”

“You’re a good hunter. You’re good at scaring off the wolves and foxes. Just think about all the positive ways you could be helpful. You’re big and strong and you can carry heavy things.”

“Hmm, I suppose you’re right. I do have some skills that other animals don’t have.”

“Oh yes indeed. I could never carry a large bee’s nest, but you can. I could never scare away a predator. Be thankful for all the ways that you are unique instead of wishing to be somebody else.”

The bear listened and learned so much that day. He began to realize what a unique individual he was. And he started appreciating his skills and talents. 

He and the yellow warbler became good friends after that. The bird would fly over to his cave where she would sing for him, then they would eat dinner together.
