Answer:
Dear friend,
I hope you are doing well. I wanted to tell you what happened with me today. I tried to lure a bird, I almost succeeded but then something magical happened. The bird started talking to me. It told me that freedom is the most important thing for any living creature on this earth. It is not only humans that should have the right to freedom but animals should have it as well. Animals hate to be kept in cages, they have dreams and wishes too. So I told the bird that I won't keep it in the cage i'll set him free.
Waiting for your reply
With love,
Amy

Dear Savita,
Recently, I had a conversation with a bird and asked it whether it will stay with me if I provided it with quilts, velvet bed and satin pillows. But the bird refused saying that it was rather comfortable in her ivy wall. Then, I offered it a diamond and amber necklace for staying as a pet but the bird was happy with her feather necklace.
The poem, "Birdie, Will You Pet?" by W. Allingham only goes on to show that freedom is valued a lot by the bird instead of worldly attractions. I also learnt a lot from her.
Hope you also understand what it meant.
Regards,
Shikha.
