問題詳情

請回答第 47 題至第 50 題Something happened to me when I was 12 and cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.I was then living with my family on the edge of the woods. Every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come andperch in the trees and sing. So beautiful was the sound they produced that I decided to catch one and keep it in a cage. Inthat way I could have my own private musician.I did succeed in catching one and put it in a cage. I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day ofthe bird’s captivity, its mother flew to the cage and brought some food to it.The following morning I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was baffled! What had happened?Arthur Wayne, the renowned ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, and hearing me bemoanmy bird’s fate, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bringit poison berries. She deems it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live freely.
