woods she found two starving birds 1 . She cared them with love and the birds grew strong. Every
morning they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt the great love from the birds.

he would fly away. As he flew close, she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad at her success in
capturing him. 3 . She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. Her desperate love had
killed him.
