The Woodpecker and the Wishing Tree

**The Woodpecker and the Wishing Tree**

In a lush forest teeming with trees, there lived a woodpecker named "Peck," known for his bright red feathers and rhythmic tapping that echoed far and wide. Peck loved pecking at trees to find food, but he always dreamed of discovering something special to make the forest more joyful.

One day, while tapping on an ancient tree, he heard a strange whisper. Peck paused and listened, and to his surprise, the tree spoke! "I am the Wishing Tree," it said. "If you peck three times with a true heart, I will grant one wish." Astonished, Peck thought carefully, then pecked three times, wishing for the forest to be filled with colors and songs.

Suddenly, the trees bloomed with vibrant flowers never seen before, and melodies flowed as birds gathered to sing in harmony. The forest became a magical place, and Peck its beloved hero. From that day on, every tap of Peck’s beak spread joy to every corner of the forest.
