The Sparrow My Friend

The Sparrow My Friend After morning stretch exercises in a garden near my home I was relaxing sitting on a bench suddenly a sparrow from a banyan tree fell down just before me she was badly injured perhaps some merciless poacher might have thrown stone at her her wound was bleeding and needed immediate first aid she was groaning in pain seeing her cry in pain my eyes began to shed tears and felt as if someone wounded my heart by a sharp arrow immediately I rushed to a veterinarian and after treatment I took her to my home for proper care ' until she was recovered fully I could feel her pain and pang and put her in a cage for rest I gave her to eat bread and cereal grains slowly she began to recover and one day I found her chirping and skipping until now we had become very good friends I had no other option but ''' to release her from the cage one fine morning I released her for ever to fly in the blue sky my happiness was in the seventh heaven today for the first time in life I could understand the real meaning of freedom' I spent many sleepless nights' (By Kishan Negi)
