When I first met my new parrot, Chico, his wings had been cut short
and he was stuck on the earth just like us humans. When the weather turned
nice, I would take Chico outside. I
41 him on a branch of a tree, hoping to make him
happier. At first he seemed confused. He walked back and forth on the branch
looking
42 . He didn’t even flap his wings in an/a
43 to fly. Somehow he knew he was incapable.
One day Chico got especially excited. He paced back and forth and
made an
44 amount of noise. Then all of a
sudden he stopped and let out an even louder scream. He started
45 flapping
his wings for the first time ever — then he lifted off the
46 like
a space shuttle! I was amazed and
47 . Little did I know his
feathers had been growing back, and Chico had been waiting until the moment was
ripe for
48 !
Two days later Chico returned. First I tried to
49 him
back with food, but he would not come near me. Then I took his
50 and
put it away — still he would not come. Finally, I made him a firm promise that
I would let him out every day if the weather was nice as long as he did come
back.
51 , he flew onto my shoulder.
From that day on, whenever the weather was good I would let
him
52 early and he would fly around and
be back before dark. The routine lasted for two months
53 suddenly
Chico became
54 . The vet said that he had been infected
with a disease from the pigeons in the
55 . Within a few days he
died.
I was very sad. The
56 crossed my mind that if I had not
set him free to fly, he would be still alive. But what
57 is
there in being a bird if you can’t fly?
Chico made his first
58 for freedom on a
late Monday afternoon in April. When will you make yours? You too can take
a
59 when the conditions are right,
knowing you too, in your own way, were built to fly. If you don’t set yourself free,
what will be the
60 of your life.
