【Hope to get corrected:)】A short story
This is a short story I wrote for my friend who always wants to be good and work hard but gets upset by/with the result. I think sometimes it's okay to quit and rest for a while.I used the sentence structure of the classic rhyme "The Owl and Pussy Cat".
And I used to read a kids story called Puffin Peter, so I named this story Eagle Edward. Originally I wanted to call this story "Edward wanted to be a good eagle".
And The "cloudy heart" mentioned in the story is not made up. I actually saw it once by myself and the photo I taken is attached.
*'and' is generally a connector, so doesn't really go at the start of sentences.
Here is the singing version of this story (tune by Susie Tallman):

Thank you for your correcting!
Eagle Edward
There once was an eagle called Edward
He made a little wish upon a star
He wanted to be a good eagle
And fly up high in the sky
Edward wanted to see the best
Scenery in this big big world
So he flew and flew
Flew day and night
No matter what happened you couldn't stop him, stop him, stop him
No matter what happened you couldn't stop him
Edward flew through the huge mountains
And across the glistening seas
Oh he just kept flying
Too long he has taken
But where would be the destination?
After he flew for a year and a day,
He landed on an island feeling weary
Suddenly there in the sky a cloudy heart appeared
Like a gift sent just for him, for him, for him
Like a gift sent just for him
"It's nice and sweet!" said Edward and
He started to look around
It's the first time he stopped flying and observed
The things going on around him
The sea was jewel-blue
With wild dolphins jumping
And deep blue sky with cumulus zoo
At last he knew
Sometimes quitting to get ahead
Makes him see the best scenery, scenery, scenery
Makes him see the best scenery
Nice poem!
