We lived near a forest, and every evening the mockingbird would come and_______. I decided to catch a young _____and keep it in a cage, and in this way, I would have my own private musician. Then I succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, the bird was_______, so it fluttered (扑腾) in the cage. But finally it was used to living in its new home. 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_______.”
