J.E. Halsey-Cody

The year that Story time was started to be was my freshman year in college. When I entered college I had no idea what I wanted to major in. So I started out in journalism. About three weeks into the first semester I said thanks but no thanks. So I tried creative writing. The first story I wrote for an assignment was called Little Alice. After my professor spoke to me and encouraged me to continue my writings. I knew I wanted to write children’s story so Story time grew from there.

The Songbird that

could not sing

Once there was a pretty little song bird sitting all alone on this big beautiful oak tree. He was just sitting there not saying a word. Not once did he open his mouth. All he would do is just look around at everything around him. Then came a robin and sat beside him. Songbird she said why aren’t you singing with all the other songbirds?

I can’t sing he answered.

A songbird that can’t sing? Why I never heard of such a thing. Let me hear you sing just one note Songbird.

A tear rolled down his cheek, but I can’t sing he said.

Okay, but I wormed you and the little songbird opened his mouth and sang a note. It was the sourest note ever in the history of songbirds.

Oh my dear little Songbird, that will never do. Tell me one thing, do you want to learn how to sing?

Oh, Miss Robin he sighed I want to learn how to sing.
