The Bird “Come back, Butch!” shouted Tom as he scrambled after the brown terrier. “You’re not dry yet!” The dog raced across the field behind Tom’s house, heading for some pine trees. Butch was not fond of his weekly bath and tried to escape at every opportunity. “If he gets into the woods, he’ll need another bath,” mumbled Tom. “I wish Molly were here to help.” Just then, a girl rushed up. “Did he take off again?” Turning to find his friend Molly, Tom replied, “Yes, and he’s probably already rolling in dirt. We need to bring him back.” As the two friends headed for the trees on the far side of the field, they heard Butch barking. “Butch doesn’t usually bark unless there’s trouble,” said Tom. Molly and Tom hurried. They found Butch barking furiously at a small bird on the ground. It flapped one wing rapidly in a desperate attempt to fly away while it held the other wing close to its side. Tom grabbed Butch and pulled him away. Molly carefully picked up the bird and tried to console it with a soothing voice. “I think its wing is broken,” whispered Molly. “Let’s take it to my house. Dad will know what to do,” said Tom. Back at the house, Tom’s dad looked the bird over. He agreed that the wing was broken. Carefully, he set the wing to keep it still. “The bird will need looking after until its wing heals,” said Tom’s dad. “Are you up for it?” “Oh, sure,” both Tom and Molly replied. “You’ll need to keep it fed and watered every day,” cautioned Tom’s dad. “We will,” promised Tom. The two found an old birdcage in the garage and set it on Tom’s porch. Molly put the bird inside while Tom found a water dish. Molly suggested, “How about we take turns? I’ll go hunt for some worms while you stay and watch the bird. Tomorrow we’ll switch.” “Okay,” agreed Tom. The two friends took turns caring for the bird. They became quite fond of the little bird as each day it grew stronger. After a few weeks had passed, Tom’s dad said, “It looks fine.” The bird seemed to confirm this as it fluttered both wings. “I think we need to keep the bird a while longer,” said Tom. “Yeah. I don’t want to let it go too soon and have it not be able to live on its own,” chimed in Molly. “You know this bird owes you its life,” said Tom’s dad. “But now it’s time to let it go.” “Okay, Dad,” said Tom. “We’ll take it to the woods this afternoon.” Butch tagged along as Molly and Tom walked slowly to the trees where they had first found the bird. Opening the cage door, they stood back. The bird hopped slowly to the opening and then suddenly flew out. It settled on a nearby tree limb. Butch barked once, and the bird flew off into the deep green needles of the pine trees. “Well, Butch, it’s bath time again,” said Tom. “But we’ll make sure you don’t get out until you’re dry.” 1.
