While I was standing at the kitchen window, five-year-old Spencer, my oldest son, ran into the house    1 , “We need a doctor out here! We need a doctor! Hurry , Mom!” “What’s wrong?” I asked. Spencer anxiously told me he had found a dead bird that needed a doctor.
I seized a small plastic bag from the cupboard and took Spencer’s hand.   2   , that’s sort of thing mothers do! While my son led me out of the door and toward the bird, I explained that    3   the creature was indeed dead, a doctor could not    4   . When we arrived at the accident scene, it was obvious that the baby bird was dead. Spencer and I could see the nest high up in the tree. My son and I discussed the probable age of the baby bird, its inability to fly well, and exactly how the    5    had caused its death. “ I think his mommy and daddy really    6    him,” Spencer observed. I    7   my boy’s hand and tried to ease his    8    by saying I was sure they did, but that they would be OK because the little bird had gone to Heaven to be with God and Popo (my dead grandfather). I told Spencer that the bird’s mommy and daddy knew that their little one would be    9   and loved. I also told Spencer that Popo loved little birds and I was sure he was in Heaven holding and playing with the baby bird right then. I    10   the little creature’s body, slipped (悄悄放到) it into my plastic bag and   11   placed the bird in the rubbish bin.    12   else was said about the matter for the rest of the day. Spencer went right back to playing    13   he had never been interrupted, and I returned to my work in the kitchen.
At breakfast the next morning, Spencer sadly explained to his father that he had found a baby bird the day before that had fallen from its nest.
“It was dead, Daddy!”
Trying to   14   Spencer’s spirits and remind him that the little bird was really OK, I asked our son to tell Daddy where the baby bird was. Spencer,    15  solemn (鄭重的) faced at his dad, said, “In the rubbish bin with Mama’s granddad, Popo.”
