She cared for them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning, they provided her with a wonderful song. The girl felt great love for the birds.
One day the girl left the door to the cage open. One bird flew from the cage. The girl was so afraid that he would fly away. As he flew close, she grasped him wildly. She was very happy to catch him.
Suddenly she felt the bird unable to move. She opened her hand and looked in horror at the dead bird. Her love had killed him.

Long long ago, there was an old man. He was very good 26 fishing. One day, while he 27 near a river, a boy came and said to him, “Can you give me 28 fishing rod (钓鱼竿) in your hands ” The old man smiled at him and said, “I can give you a full basket of fish.” But the boy shook 29 head. The old man was very 30 and asked, “Why do you want the fishing rod instead of the fish ”
“Well, you know it doesn’t take a long time 31 up all the fish in a basket. But if you give me the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and will not be afraid of not 32 any fish to eat at all.”
You may surely think that the boy is very smart. But it is wrong. 33 he doesn’t know how to fish, he can’t eat any fish, even if he has the fishing rod. It is useless to 34 have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are more important than the fishing rod.
