I felt very excited with myself and some beautiful singing.

On the second day, the little bird’s mother flew to the cage with in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything. I was to see this. Certainly the mother bird knew how to feed her baby better than I did.

The following morning when I went to see my bird, I found it on the floor of the cage. I was terribly surprised and sad! What had happened?

Arthur Wayne, a famous biologist, happened to my father at that time. After she knew my story, she explained to me, “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her baby to die than to lose ”

Since then I have never caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living things have a right to live free.

Teenager Jake Deham was skiing with his family in the US when he fell over and lost one of his skis. His family didn’t know that he had a problem. They kept on skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Jake.

Jake couldn’t find his ski anywhere. In the end, he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain. But he couldn’t work out the right way to go.

It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm. At home, Jake watched a lot of programmes about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programmes and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole so the wind couldn’t blow into it. Outside his hole, the temperature fell to a dangerous-15℃ that night, but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.

After the long evening passed, Jake began to think his way out. He had to get down the mountain. The TV programmes always said,“ If you are lost, you should find someone else’ s tracks(足跡) through the snow and follow them.” “I wanted to live my life.” Remembered Jake. “So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those.” He walked and walked and finally saw lights. ……

His mum was very happy when she heard his son was saved. Amazingly, Jake didn’t even have to go to hospital. He got through the terrible experience without any injuries.
