Hummingbird Tale Analysis Worksheet
The Hummingbird and the Fire
One dry afternoon, a spark leapt from a fallen branch and caught in the grass. Wind hurried the flames toward the forest. Animals fled to the riverbank, where they watched smoke darken the sky. “Nothing we do can stop a fire this large,” said Bear. “We must wait for the rain.” A small hummingbird darted to the river, gathered one drop of water in its beak, and flew back to the flames. It dropped the water, then returned for another. Fox shook his head. “That tiny drop will not put out a forest fire.” “I know,” said the hummingbird. “But the forest is my home. I can still do what I can.” The other animals looked from the fire to the bird. Bear began carrying wet branches to a clear patch of ground. Fox and the rabbits warned animals farther along the river. Soon, many creatures were working together: some moved dry leaves away from the flames, while others brought water. The fire did not disappear at once. But the animals slowed its spread until rain finally came. By morning, part of the forest was blackened, yet many trees and nests remained safe. “We did not save every tree,” Bear said. “No,” replied the hummingbird, resting beside the river. “But each helpful act mattered.”
