"Why are you sad?" she asked. The bird replied, "I lost my way back to my nest!" Mia thought for a moment and said, "I can help you. Let's find your nest together!" They searched high and low, looking under bushes and up in the trees. After a while, they spotted the bird's nest at the top of a tall oak tree.
