Anya and Benjamin

This is the story of Anya, the bluebird, and Benjamin, the horse.  Anya is a very lucky bird by all accounts. She lost the use of her wings in a very bad storm and thought that she might never fly again, but Benjamin is always there to make it happen. Just as Marci, the cow, helped him to gain the courage to run, Benjamin became the wings that lifted little Anya into the winds.  

Anya and Benjamin do everything together most days. Anya sings beautiful songs for Benjamin while he runs through the fields with our little bird perched on his back. She doesn’t really notice that she is so different from other birds. Benjamin helps to make her life as much like the others as he possibly can. When Anya is hungry, Benjamin bows low and close to the ground so she can hop off and find her dinner.

You might think that Anya and Benjamin are an unlikely pair because she is a bluebird and he is a horse, but they are the best of friends. She eases his worries with her soft melodies and he allows her to soar in the wind where she is meant to be. Anya and Benjamin are very much like human best friends who will do anything for each other.  Perhaps we are more alike than we think …
