(20) I came home from school to find my dad in the kitchen. I heard something outside and ran over to see what it was. It was a bird! A small, brown bird with a big beak. I tried to catch it but it flew away before I could grab it. Then I went inside and told my mom about the bird. She said she had seen one like that at her house too. We both agreed that it must have been a wild bird. Later that day, I found another small brown bird outside our window. This time I managed to catch it quickly! I held it gently in my hands while watching how its wings flapped. After a few minutes of holding the bird, I released it back into freedom. My parents were happy for me catching such an adorable creature. They even gave me some snacks as a reward!
