Reading Notes: Tejas Legends - The Pecan Tree's Best Friend



(Oriole Bird: Pixabay)
After reading this story, I thought it was really cute. It is a great story about two different species that show mutualism. I could write a story about an orchard oriole family and focus on them. I haven't written a story about birds so I think this will be fun. I can expand on how they lived happily and then soon come across an issue. The weather was changing and a storm was coming through so it will soon disrupt their home. The tree will then help out the little oriole family.  I think focusing on just the oriole family will be an interesting take on writing this new story.
