 There in the tall trees of our small backyard, some birds nest and bring up their young.

 Living with these little animals is joyful. But sometimes, it hurts to see them die.

 One winter morning, I found a baby blackbird sitting still in a corner. I picked it up, quickly moved it near a fire and covered it with a towel. Then I made silly bird noises, expecting that it would reply. It was breathing, though very weakly. But it did start to feel warmer, so there was hope!

 In the next few hours, I kept coming to check on it. One time, its eyes opened and it seemed to look at me, but most of the time its legs were outstretched (伸直的) . This was not a good sign! But I still kept making bird noises, saying, “Come on! Be strong!” I just wanted it to know that there was someone who cared. Unluckily, it still didn’t pull through.

 During that whole winter, I always couldn’t get that poor baby bird out of my mind. “Why couldn’t I save it? What about its brothers or sisters?”

 Dad watched all of these, but said nothing.

 One sunny spring day, he invited me to walk with him in the backyard. Right there in the trees, I saw three young blackbirds singing happily. Oh! These baby blackbirds survived and they came to visit us again!

 “See! Some birds die, and some live. That’s life! But we still should carry the hope for life, right?” said Dad gently, and I knew he was right.

 A. he felt so sorry for not bringing it back to life
