There was once a lonely girl who wanted love very much. One day 　21　 　she was walking in the forests, she found two dying birds. She took them home and put them in a small 　22　 . She was happy to have two “friends”. She 　23　 　them with love and the birds grew strong. One day the girl happened to 　24　 　the door of the cage open. The larger and the 　25　 　of the two flew out of the cage. The girl was 　26　 　that it would fly away. She caught it quickly. She felt glad that she caught the bird before it could fly away. Suddenly she couldn’t 　27　 　a sound from the bird. When she opened her 　28　 , the bird was already dead. Her 　29　 　killed the bird! Then she noticed 　30　 　bird jumping up and down 　31　 　the cage. She could feel its great need for freedom. It wanted to fly into the clear, blue 　32　 . So she lifted it from the cage and let it fly away 　33　 . The bird circled once, twice, and three times. The girl 　34　 　as the bird flew. She didn’t care about losing the bird any more. She wanted it to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the 　35　 　song she had ever heard.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
