Goose and Mingo

<p>At the edge of a peaceful woodland pond lives Goose a kind-hearted gray-feathered bird who spends his days honking happily and flying through the sky. Though cheerful Goose is also lonely-he has no one to splash paddle or laugh with. He plays by himself tumbles through reeds and makes silly faces secretly wishing for a real friend.</p><p></p><p>One day everything changes when he meets Mingo a bright playful flamingo who balances on one leg loves yoga and tells the silliest jokes. Though they are different in every way-one gray and grounded the other pink and graceful-they become instant friends. Together they dance on logs play games on the shore and fill the pond with laughter. Soon other animals gather just to watch the fun amazed that a goose and flamingo could bring so much joy to a quiet place.</p><p></p><p>But when a flock of geese arrives they question why Goose is playing with someone not like them. Hurt and confused Goose wonders if he really belongs. Yet through tears and doubt he remembers what true friendship feels like-and discovers that belonging isn't about looking the same but being loved for who you are.</p><p></p><p>In the end Goose stands tall and proud choosing friendship over flock and proving that kindness joy and loyalty matter more than matching feathers.</p>
