Jane Smith

:

As I was walking along the trail,
I came upon a little bird.
It was just a little one.

I picked it up and brought it home.
Once at home I cared for it.

In a few days the bird was big.
I sent it out to fly,
But it didn't want to go.

I brought it out for a walk,
And as we were walking,
We came upon another bird in a tree.

The bird in my hand watched as
The bird in the tree took off.

He seemed to be surprised,
So I let him go.

He flew way up to the bird
And they flew together till
They were out of sight.

I wonder where they went?
