When the weather turned nice, I took Chico outside. I sat him on a branch of a tree, hoping to make him   2  . At first he seemed   3  . He walked back and forth on the branch looking anxious or nervous. He didn't even flap his wings in an attempt to fly. Somehow he knew he was   4  .     One day Chico got especially excited . He paced back and forth and made an incredible amount of   5  . Then all of a sudden he stopped and let out an even louder scream. He started   6   flapping his wings for the first time ever－then he lifted off the   7   like a space shuttle! I was amazed and   8   . Little did I know his feathers had been growing back, and Chico had been   9   until the moment was ripe for escape!     Two days later Chico   10   .

Finally, I made him a firm promise that I would let him   12   every day the weather was nice if he did come back.   13   , he flew onto my shoulder.     From that day on, whenever the weather was good I would let him out early and he would fly around and be   back before dark. The   14   lasted for two months before suddenly Chico became   15  . The vet said that he had been infected with a disease from the pigeons in the neighborhood. Within a few days he died.      I was very sad. The   16   crossed my mind that if I had not set him free to fly, he would be still alive. But what   17   is there in being a bird if you can't fly?     Chico made his first break for   18 on a late Monday afternoon in April. When will you make yours?
