0251 Of course, she began to scream when I went to the veranda. - 25
|
0252 I felt her to be very pitiful. - 26
|
|
|
|
|
0253 But, I made my heart an ogre and kept taking her photos. -27
|
0254 These are the photos I took at that time. - 28
|
|
|
|
|
0255 Though only 10 minutes, they are her important records for me. - 29
|
0256 She showed me various actions. - 30
|
|
|
|
|
0257 Chie came to my house in May 22, 1999. - 31
|
0258 She was getting hurt in the right eye and the wing.
|
|
|
|
|
0259 She has been shaken off the nest by the storm of the previous day. - 33
|
0260 In the morning, one of my schoolgirls picked her up.
|
|
|
|
|
0261 She wrapped her (Chie) in the handkerchief. - 35
|
0262 And she brought her (Chie) to me. - 36
|
|
|
|
|
0263 Immediately I made her food, and had her eat. - 36
|
0264 She ate it with all her might. - 37
|
|
|
|
|
0265 I felt very happy to see her eating. - 38
|
0266 I believed firmly that she could live. - 39
|
|
|
|
|
0267 Her right eye and the wing cured completely, after several days. - 40
|
0268 I thanked God. - 41
|
|
|
|
|
0269 Chie of which a mouth was still yellow ran about on my bed, chirping cheerfully. - 42
|
0270 As if she is living in this house for several months.
|
|
|
|
|
0271 She became a member of my family since the day.
|
0272 However, a problem happened. - 45
|
|
|
|
|
0273 I was a teacher of a junior high school. - 46
|
0274 I had to go to a school trip for three days. - 47
|
|
|
|
|
0275 Chie was still a baby. - 48
|
0276 She couldn't eat food by herself yet. - 49
|
|
|
|
|
0277 I was in troubles. - 50
|
0278 Because I was living alone. - 51
|
|
|
|
|
0279 Chie is a wild baby bird. - 52
|
0280 It is very difficult to bring up the baby bird. - 53
|
|
|
|
|
0281 I couldn't ask an ordinary person to look after her.
|
0282 I looked for the person who could take care of her by Internet. - 55
|
|
|
|
|
0283 I found the pet shop of which name is 'Chanp-san', near the third railway station from my house. - 56
|
0284 At once, I went to the store. - 57
|
|
|
|
|
0285 The person of the shop asked about Chie and accepted my request (Chie's care). - 58
|
0286 I said "Thank you" to him many times. - 59
|
|
|
|
|
0287 After five days I hurried to the shop. - 60
|
0288 I said to Chie, "I came back." - 61
|
|
|
|
|
0289 As soon as she looked at me, she flapped her wings and began to scream in a big voice. - 62
|
0290 I was very happy. - 63
|
|
|
|
|
0291 Because she was living. - 64
|
0292 She was worn out a little. - 65
|
|
|
|
|
0293 The person of the shop received only 1000 yen though I tried to pay enough money. - 66
|
0294 I handed him the souvenir of Kyoto, "Yatsuhashi".
|
|
|
|
|
0295 I said "Thank you" to him, and hurried to my house with Chie. - 68
|
0296 When I arrived at my house, I opened the entrance of the cage in a hurry. - 69
|
|
|
|
|
0297 Chie gladly flew about in the room. - 70
|
0298 I was relieved to see her flying. - 71
|
|
|
|
|
0299 She also was relieved to return to her house. -72
|
0300 Her right foot has only two fingers. - 73
