0301 The reason was to have eaten 'mealworms'( insect's baby) too much. - 74
|
0302 I was said by the person of the pet shop, "Because the sparrow is a wild bird, you must give a lot of mealworms".
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0303 And I gave her the quantity she wanted. - 76
|
0304 As the result, she made her liver bad. - 77
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0305 One slender finger of her right foot dropped. - 78
|
0306 One more finger died and hung down from her foot.
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0307 It seemed to be very painful. - 80
|
0308 She couldn't move because of the pain. - 81
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0309 I became the feeling which had been dropped to the hell. - 82
|
0310 I know that the injured wild bird cannot live in the natural world. - 83
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0311 I thought I should not give up. - 84
|
0312 Because she is fighting against the death. - 85
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0313 I must do my best with her. - 86
|
0314 My giving up means her death. - 87
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0315 I told myself in my mind like that. - 88
|
0316 I took her to the nearby pet hospital. - 89
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0317 The doctor cut off her finger which hung down, and he handed me hepatic medicine. ("kanzo no kusuri" in Japanese) - 90
|
0318 He taught me to give her the food of an old dog instead of 'mealworms'. - 91
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0319 When I came home, I made her take the medicine soon. - 92
|
0320 I kept nursing, praying to God. - 93
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0321 She ate food, drank water and took the medicine firmly in my left hand. - 94
|
0322 After several days, she recovered until being possible to walk around and to fly in the room. - 95
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0323 I couldn't stop tears in my delight. - 96
|
0324 I set some dry clays(which contains salt, minerals) in many places instead of perches. - 97
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0325 Because I thought that it was good for her hurt right foot. - 98
|
0326 She liked to be on the clays("endo" in Japanese).
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0327 When she was a little child, she couldn't take a bath.
|
0328 So I decided to become her parent. - 101
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0329 I put the forefinger and the middle finger of my left hand in the receptacle which was full of water, moved the two fingers and made sounds like "picha-picha" in the water. - 102
|
0330 At first, though she was watching my behavior, she came near the receptacle soon, and began to walk around, shouting. - 103
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0331 Next, she put her mouth in the water of the receptacle. - 104
|
0332 And soon she put her mouth out the water. - 105
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0333 She repeated this behavior several times. - 106
|
0334 Next, she got on the dry clay which was at the side of the receptacle. - 107
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0335 She came into the water. But soon she came out of the water. She repeated this behavior.- 108
|
0336 She seemed to be confirming the temperature of the water.
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0337 After she knew that the water isn't so cold, she put her body into the water. - 110
|
0338 She moved her body happily, drawing a circle slowly and splashing water here and there. - 111
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0339 The newspapers under the receptacle were soaked by the water.
|
0340 This was her first bath. - 113
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0341 Soon one more problem happened. - 114
|
0342 She couldn't shake her body after bathing. - 115
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0343 For this reason she couldn't take off the water from her body so that other birds might do. - 116
|
0344 Even in natural world, baby birds see their parents' and friend's behavior and learn new things little by little.
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0345 I was taught about that by her. - 118
|
0346 Neither her parents nor her friends were near her.
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0347 Nobody could teach new things to her. - 120
|
0348 Only I was near her. - 121
|
||||||
 |
 |
||||||
|
0349 But I couldn't teach her how to shake her body and how to take off the water. - 122
|
0350 I told her, "Pardon me!". - 123
