Columbus's Bird

In 1492, as Columbus and his fleet sailed across the vast Atlantic Ocean for tens of days, the crew fell into extreme anxiety and despair due to the prolonged absence of land, even preparing to mutiny and force the fleet to turn back. At the most tense moment, a colorful little land bird suddenly flew onto the flagship's mast, hopping lightly and chirping crisply. Immediately after, the crew pulled a branch with green leaves and bright small flowers out of the sea. This cute little bird and the branch brought hope that land was not far away, and the entire ship erupted in cheers, with everyone happily embracing and averting a crisis.
