There was once a lonely girl who wanted love very much. One day while she was walking in the forests, she found two dying birds. She took them home and put them in a small cage. She was happy to have two "friends". She looked after them with love and the birds grew strong. One day the girl happened to leave the door of the cage open. The larger and the stronger of the two flew out of the cage. The girl was afraid that it would fly away. She caught it quickly. She felt glad that she caught the bird before it could fly away.
One day, suddenly she couldn't hear a sound from the bird. When she opened her door, the bird was already dead. Her love killed the bird! Then she noticed the other bird jumping up and down inside the cage. She could feel it's great need for freedom(自由). It wanted to fly into the clear, blue sky. So she lifted it from the cage and let it fly away happily. The bird circled once, twice, and three times. The girl watched 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 sweetest 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 (翅膀).
