Picture of Heron Baby

Story For Child

Once upon a time there was a baby heron named Bandit. He lived in the swamps with his family and friends. One day, while he was playing near the water, he was surprised by a hunter who wanted to capture him to make him his pet. Bandit managed to evade the hunter with his agility and speed, but he found himself lost and scared far from the swamps.


Bandit wandered for several days without finding the exit from the wood he had entered. As he began to despair, he heard friendly voices asking him if he was okay. It was a family of ducks who had noticed that the little heron seemed sad and lonely. So they decided to offer him shelter and protection in their quiet corner of the woods until he was able to find his way back to the swamps where his family and friends lived. The ducks watched over Bandit every day, teaching him how to fly high in the sky to reach his natural place of residence more easily.


After a week, Bandit was finally able to resume his flight to the swamps where his whole family had been impatiently awaiting his return! He thanked the duck family for all they had done for him then left to join his loved ones with joy!
