Question

When I was a small boy, something happened to me that made me never put any wild creature in a cage.

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 (撲騰) 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 ”

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