We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening ，the mocking birds （知更鸟）would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can make a 3. beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.

I had left the cage out on our back yard, and on the second day my new 7. mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. 8. the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.

She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in cages.”

Never since then have I caught any living creature (生物) and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right(权力) 10. .
