Jay the quail loved to play in the sunny fields. One day, as he was laying on the soft hay, he sprained his wing. "Oh no," Jay said. "I can't fly!" He looked around, hoping for help. His friend, Fay the snail, came by. "Jay, why so gray?" Fay asked. "I sprained my wing," Jay replied. Fay thought for a bit. "I know a way!" she said. Fay called Craig the bird for aid. Craig raised his wings and flew over. "I can help," Craig said. He gently wrapped Jay's wing with clay and a soft cloth. "Stay still, Jay," Craig advised. Jay stayed put, feeling safer. After some time, Jay's wing felt better. "Thank you, friends," Jay said. "Now I can play again!" With faith in his friends, Jay was soon back to flying and playing.

Jay the quail liked to play in the sunny plains. One day, as he was laying on 
soft hay, he felt a bad pain in his wing. "I think it is a sprain!" Jay said.

"I cannot fly!" Jay scanned the plains, hoping to spot a friend to help. His friend, Fay the snail, came by.

"Jay, why so gray?" Fay asked. "I hurt my wing," Jay told her.

Fay started to think. "I know a way!" she said.

Fay called Ray the bird for aid. Ray landed and sat next to Jay. "I can help," Ray claimed. "Great!" said Jay. 

Ray put clay and a soft cloth on the hurt wing. "Stay still, Jay," Ray said. Jay stayed put.

After some time, Jay felt better. "Thank you, friend," Jay said. "Now I can play again!" 

With faith in his friend, Jay was back to flying and playing.
