Rosie and the Stuck Leaf

One sunny morning, Rosie the galah flew out to play. 🦜

She met Gary the hedgehog, who could not run. A big leaf was stuck on his spikes! 🍃🦔

Rosie gently pulled the leaf off with her beak. "Thank you, Rosie!" said Gary.

Then they found Elvis the chameleon. All three friends shared a picnic of seeds and berries under a big tree. 🌳
