  There once was a bird name Tweety. She likes to tweet1. And she’s very sweet. She was the shortest baby bird. But she was very kind. She loved her parents like she loved herself. She likes listening to music, and she likes to sing it.
  It was Tweety’s first day at school. She looked at the birds beside her, who were huge and tall. Every time in class she kept singing. After a while, the other birds started to bully2 her saying she was crazy and short, and she’ll never be a singer.
  She ran away from school, and then she ran to the mountains where she can see the stars. It was her favorite place where she would visit every day.
  Tweety thought about the things they said about her. She looked at the stars sadly. Tweety thought in her mind she doesn’t care what they say about her, it only matters what she thinks about herself. Tweety looked at the stars with a telescope3 and gasped4. She noticed that when she looked through a telescope, the stars were all of the colors of the rainbow. But without the telescope they were only white.
  She got the inspiration. Then she started to write a song on stars. After a couple of days Tweety begged her mom to take her to a singing competition. They sat in the car and off they went. It was time for the competition. Tweety was going first! She was nervous. But then she was not nervous anymore. She started to sing. Then the judges announced the winners. And Tweety won!
  After years and years, Tweety became the most famous singer. All of her songs were famous, and she was called “Tweety the Star”.
  從前,有一只名叫翠迪的鸟。她喜欢鸣叫。她很可爱,是最小的小鸟,但她很善良,爱父母就像爱自己一样。她喜欢听音乐,也喜欢跟着唱。
  这是翠迪上学的第一天。她看到身边那些鸟又高又大。每次上课她都不停地唱歌。过了一段时间,其他的鸟开始欺负她,说她又疯又矮,永远不会成为歌手。
  她从学校逃走,然后跑到了能看见星星的山上。那是她最喜欢的地方,她每天都会去那里。
  翠迪想起了他们对她的评价,她忧伤地看着星星。翠迪认为她不在乎他们怎么说她,她只在乎自己对自己的看法。翠迪用望远镜看着星星,吸了口气。她注意到当她用望远镜看的时候,星星都是彩虹的颜色。但是不用望远镜看,它们就只是白色的。
  她得到了灵感,然后开始写一首关于星星的歌。几天后,翠迪央求妈妈带她去参加歌唱比赛。她们坐车去了。比赛时间到了,翠迪是第一个!她很紧张。但后来她不再紧张了,于是她开始唱歌。之后评委宣布获胜者,翠迪赢了!
  年复一年,翠迪成为了最著名的歌手。她的所有歌曲都很有名,而她被称为“明星翠迪”。
