Something happened to me when I was 12 and cured治癒 me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
I was then living with my family on the edge of the woods.
Every evening at dusk黃昏 the mockingbirds would come and perch棲息 in the trees and sing.
So beautiful was the sound they produced that I decided to catch one and keep it in a cage.

In that way I could have my own private musician.
I did succeed in catching one and put it in a cage.
I had left the cage out on our back porch門廊, and on the second day of the bird’s captivity囚禁, it's mother flew to the cage and brought some food to it.
The following morning I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. 

I was baffled迷惑! What had happened?
Arthur Wayne, the renowned ornithologist鳥類學家, happened to be visiting my father at the time, and hearing me bemoan悲嘆 my bird’s fate, explained what had occurred.

“A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She deems認為 it better for her young to die than to live in captivity囚禁.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. 
All living creatures have a right to live freely.
