If I Were a wild bird, how sad I should be, If I had been caught and couldn't go free, f\{] If I had to sit in a cage all the day, n And couldn't go flying away and away. fir-V c VrQ If I had a wild bird, I'd open his door t And not keep him shut in a cage any more. I'd say : " Pretty bird, fly away to a tree, , And think, of a new song and ,sing it to me." ■—From Moira Phelps, Nga.tca. Age 8.
