The Black Hat

There was once a lonely, young boy who lived with his mute grandfather, in a dark damp forest. The little poor boy was lonely so in the evenings he would go out in the pitch black damp forest hoping he could find something new.

He tripped over a black hat and placed it on his head. He was told to take his hat off but he refused. When he went to bed he put it away. Later that night he was amazed at what he saw when he came out of his deep slumber. It was a collection of beautiful rainbow tattooed birds, caterpillars, owls, snails and all the animals of the animal kingdom.

The next day he went looking for the amazing rainbow bird. It was pitch black now but he had seen it shimmering in the distance. He got up close to it and told it to come down but it hesitated and didn't listen. 

Next he went back home to bed and later that night two more went flying away. Later he knew where to go so he went to the same place and you know what, they were there with the other bird. Later he got a light bulb in his head. He went running for his life all the way home to let the birds free because he knew that they belong outside free.
