Guiding the Clumsy Pelican
Sometimes a little help can make all the difference.
Setting: A sunny coastal town in the early morning, with soft waves crashing against rocky cliffs and a tall, white lighthouse standing proudly against a clear blue sky, surrounded by splashes of colorful beach umbrellas.
Characters
- Lily — little girl: A cheerful little girl with curly chestnut hair tied in a bright yellow bow, big sparkling green eyes, and a sprinkle of freckles across her nose. She wears a light blue dress with white daisies, and her favorite red rubber boots.
- Perry — pelican: A large pelican with soft white feathers and a bright orange beak, a splash of gray on his wings, and soulful brown eyes. He has a comically oversized body and often stumbles as he waddles, wearing a little green scarf around his neck.
