I remember it like it was yesterday, Daphne thought to herself.  Oh, Wait a minute! It was yesterday!  There was Daphne, the poor, innocent owl, sitting by the pond, just outside of the forest, like she does everyday.  Except now, she had made an enemy.  Of course, she didn’t mean to make an enemy.  If fact, she did nothing wrong at all, but there sat Daphne, all alone, looking at her sad reflection in the calm water while the entire forest chirps about what a liar she is.  The rain slowly began to fall and Daphne still sat there, under the grey, gloomy sky.  How did this whole mess come about in the matter of one day? She reasoned with herself as her mind traced back to the day before...
“Hi! Chirp! Chirp!” Daphne quickly whipped around, to see another bird, a raven, standing behind her.
“Hello, I don’t think we have ever met before,” she said nervously, not expecting to see anyone at the pond.
“My name is Rachel.  I am new around here and I don’t really know anyone,”  chirped the unfamiliar bird.
“Oh, well, nice to meet you!” replied Daphne, trying to sound as welcoming as possible.  Of course, she would want the other birds to welcome her if she were new to the forest, so she did the best that she could to become friends with Rachel.
For the rest of the day, Daphne and Rachel were chirping left and right, laughing as loud as ever, like they had been friends for years.  The day seemed to go by in a flash.  Before they knew it, they were staring at the gleaming sun, which was reflecting off of the pond, as the last few rays disappeared into the night.  Soon, Daphne and Rachel  would need to return back to their nests, in the high, dark trees of the forest, with plans to meet at the pond the next morning.
The next day soon came upon them, and both Daphne and Rachel arrived at the pond, just like they had planned to do not even 24 hours before.
“Is this some kind of joke?” Rachel spat out as soon as she made eye contact with Daphne.
“What are you talking about?” questioned Daphne.
“My nest!  You destroyed my home!”
“I would never do that!” reasoned Daphne.
“Yes, you did!” accused Rachel.  “As soon as I arrived home yesterday, I found my ruined nest. You were the only person that knew I had just moved in.  You must have done it!”
Now, beginning to get defensive, Daphne screeched, “How could I have done such a terrible thing to your nest if I was hanging out with you all day?”
Rachel stormed off, not knowing what to think of the situation.  Realizing that her accusation made no sense, she was determined to make everyone else believe what she had already accused Daphne of doing.  After only a few days of Daphne and Rachel avoiding each other, almost every animal in the forest believed that Daphne was jealous of Rachel, and wanted to ruin her new nest.
Finally, Daphne became tired of avoiding Rachel and decided that all of the accusations and arguing needed to come to an end.  With her head held high, she soared towards Rachel’s nest.  However, while Daphne was flying, she realized that she didn’t want to remain friends with Rachel, or any of the other animals in that part of the forest, who immediately turned on her.  They hardly even met Rachel!  How do they know whether or not she is telling the truth?  So, Daphne kept flying, until her wings were sore.  The entire way to her new home, wherever that would be, she thought, Now I know hooo I can really trust and hooo I can really count on.

Moral: Be careful who you consider your friends because only your true friends will stand by you and trust you instead of turn on you.
