"I have a friend near here. We can drop him off there. He has a small bird sancuary on the roof of his building. Your bird will be perfectly safe." He took the cage from her and carried it carefully so as not to cause destress to the bird. He could tell how much it meant to her. As he led her down the street, he couldn't help but look at a flock of birds in the sky and wonder what it would be like to fly.
