Little Bird Little

I was sitting in the park today for lunch and I saw this bird fall out of its nest. I was about to rush over to help it but this guy grabbed me and told me not to touch it because the mother would not help it if a person tried to help it. I wanted to punch the stranger for actually laying his hands on me but I got the point.

So I was there just sitting on the bench biting my fingers really wanting to get up and just throw the bird in the air so it could fly. But that would probably end in death so I just had to wait. I was near tears wondering where is this mother! What a terrible parent. If only there were social services for animals. She finally came by like 5 minutes later (I know, it really wasn't that long). She stayed with it for a long time. There was no way this bird was going to carry that bird into the nest. I asked the guy who grabbed me what was going to happen and he told me the little bird is probably going to die. I just shouted "What!" I admit I'm not an animal expert and I didn't really know all this bird information. I asked him why did he grab me and tell me not to help it if the bird was probably going to die anyways. He told me that he just wanted to talk me into a date with him. Jerk!

I got up and took the bird to an animal shelter so that they would take care of it. I missed one my classes in the process but it was worth it. I saved a life! And the guy was cute that asked me out but I'm already in a great relationship now that I don't want to ruin. But deep in my heart I felt as if the mother is just totally destroyed by this by losing a child, but then again it would've died if I just left it there. I guess someone has to hurt in the process. But if only I could've like sneaked in at night and layed the bird down in the nest while she was asleep. I don't know.
