In 1956, Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies. One day as I walked around the house with my 21 Kathy’s new parakeet (小鹦鹉)on my finger, I wanted to show Perky 22 the sky looked like. Maybe he could make a little bird friend out there. I took him into the backyard, and then, 23 to my horror, Perky flew off. The enormous, blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue 24 and suddenly he had gone, clipped wings and all.
Kathy managed to 25 me. With fake optimism, she even tried to reassure (安慰)me that Perky would find a new 26 . But I was far too clever to 27 that such a thing was possible. Decades later, I watched my own 28 growing. We shared their activities, spending soccer Saturdays in folding chairs with the 29 of the kids’ friends, the Kissells. The two families went camping around Arizona together. We became the 30 of friends. One evening, the game was to tell Great Pet stories. One person claimed to 31 the oldest living goldfish. Someone else had a psychic dog. 32 Barry, the father of the other family, took the floor(发言) and 33 that the Greatest Pet of All Time was his blue parakeet, Sweetie Pie.
"The best thing 34 Sweetie Pie," he said, "was the 35 we got him. One day, when I was about eight, out of the clear, blue sky, a little blue parakeet just dived down and 36 on my finger."
When I was 37 able to speak, we examined the amazing evidence. The dates and the locations and the pictures of the bird all 38 . It seems our two families had been 39 long before we ever met. Forty years later, I ran to my sister and said, "You were 40 ! Perky lived!"
