John is a busy man and he has a lovely
bird. He puts his bird in a cage. He hangs it in the window of his bed room. Although,
he is busy whit his job, he can take care of his bird well. He really likes it.
One day when he had an appointment with his client in Jakarta, he asked his
sister to look after his bird.
John : Jenifer, can you take care of my bird.
I am going
to Jakarta this morning and I will go home in the
afternoon.
Jenifer : Yes, of course. I like a bird.
John : Thank you, Jen.
John was relived because
his sister could look after his bird. John went to Jakarta while Jenifer was taking
care of his bird. When John went home in the afternoon, John asked Jenifer his
bird.
John : How’s my bird, Jen? Have you fed it.
Jenifer : Yes, of course, I have. This morning I fed
it.
John : This morning? Just this morning?
Jenifer : Yes, why? Is it not enough?
John : No kidding! It’s 5 o’clock now. It will
be hungry if you have not fed it yet. It needs to feed three times a day. But you feed it just once.
Jenifer : Three times a day?
I’m sorry my brother I do not know. I will feed it now.
John : No, you should not feed it anymore. I
will feed it myself.
John hurrily went to feed
his bird.
John : Oh, my God.
Jenifer! Jenifer! Come here! Look at my bird! It is really weak.
What a careless you are!
Jenifer : I’m so sorry my brother.
John : What did you say? ‘Sorry?’
It’s too late. My bird has been dead. Now let me alone!
John was very upset
knowing his bird dead. Jenifer went away. She ran and cried.
