Birdie, will you pet ?
By
William Allingham
.
Dear -------------
I am fine here and hope the same with you there. Hope you feel the
World as sweet as I do! Freedom is our birth right given to us by the
constitution. We claim this right in all aspects. But we do think
about the same with the animals.
I saw a bird in my window and requested it to be my petbut it refused.
I offered many things but it didn’t get tempted. Moreover, it said
that it is not bothered by material comforts, rather its freedom is
more important.
I also realise the same and so let the bird free. You also should
remember that freedom is more important than money. Convey
my regards to uncle and aunty and love to chotu.
Yours friendly
