My name is Matthew. I'm a fifth grader who live in control. Today I'm going to present the story to you. A summer to remember. One summer day, me and my friends was playing water guns when suddenly our laughter was silenced by a thumb sound. What was that, I ask. It was a small, tiny, yellow green bird. I picked it up. Bird? It looked tiny in my hand. I give the name Sonny? To me, it's like a inspite of sunshine, that bruise on his head. The first thing that come to my mind is to take care of the bird quickly. I call my sister, who went to get her snacks to feed the bird. We gave it candy water and my sister favorite ice cream. Vanilla. And we also gave it home as my dad's favorite teapot. The Byrd finally opened his eyes. We all shouted, Hooray, Sonny is alive. It was lunchtime, so we ate while we ate, Mina shouted. Oh. Sonny is dead! Everybody was sad. We borrowed money to your backyard and make a tombstone that was on its name. And my sister Mina drew a picture of Sonny so her family know where to visit her. During the short time I cared for Sunny. I realized that empathy. I can feel the small bird pain and helplessness. And I also learn it’s good to help. Even to a small bird. It’s normal to feel helplessness, loss and sadness. We all experience this thing. Goodbye, Sunny. Fly high wherever you are. I think in the short time I came to you in May, ease a little of your pain.
