Best Way to Keep Love is to Give It Wings
There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving songbirds. She took them home and put them in a small cage. She cared them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt great love for the birds.

One day the girl left the door to the cage open. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. As he flew close, she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. Suddenly she felt the bird go limp. She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. Her desperate love had killed him.

She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. He needed to soar into the clear, blue sky. She lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air. The bird circled once, twice, three times.

The girl watched delightedly at the bird's enjoyment. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss. She wanted the bird to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest melody that she had ever heard.

中文：
從前，有個(gè)寂寞的女孩非常渴望愛(ài)。一天，她走在叢林中，發(fā)現(xiàn)兩只快要餓死的小鳥(niǎo)。她把它們帶回家，放入一個(gè)小籠子。經(jīng)她悉心照料，鳥(niǎo)兒一天天強(qiáng)壯起來(lái)。每天早晨，鳥(niǎo)兒都要用美妙的歌聲向她表示問(wèn)候。女孩不由得愛(ài)上了這兩只小鳥(niǎo)。
一天，女孩敞開(kāi)了鳥(niǎo)籠的小門(mén)。那只較大較壯的鳥(niǎo)兒飛出了鳥(niǎo)籠。女孩非常害怕鳥(niǎo)兒會(huì)飛走。鳥(niǎo)兒飛近時(shí)，她死命將它抓住。她十分高興，終于又把它捉了回來(lái)。突然間，她感覺(jué)到鳥(niǎo)兒四肢無(wú)力。她張開(kāi)手，驚恐地盯著手中的死鳥(niǎo)。她不顧一切的愛(ài)害死了鳥(niǎo)兒。
她注意到另一只鳥(niǎo)兒在籠邊撲閃著翅膀。她可以感覺(jué)到它對(duì)自由的無(wú)限向往。它渴望沖向明凈的藍(lán)天。她將它舉起，輕輕拋向空中。鳥(niǎo)兒盤(pán)旋了一圈，兩圈，三圈。
看到鳥(niǎo)兒快樂(lè)的樣子，女孩很高興。她的內(nèi)心不再計(jì)較自己的得失。她希望鳥(niǎo)兒幸福。突然，鳥(niǎo)兒飛近了，輕輕落在她的肩上，唱起了她從未聽(tīng)過(guò)的最動(dòng)人的歌。
失去愛(ài)的方法，最快莫過(guò)于將其牢牢地抓在手心;令?lèi)?ài)長(zhǎng)駐的方法，最好莫過(guò)于賦予它一雙翅膀――將愛(ài)放飛!
