I felt very excited with myself and ______ some beautiful singing.

On the second day, the little bird’s mother flew to the cage with_______ in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything. I was ______ to see this. Certainly the mother bird knew how to feed her baby better than I did.

The following morning when I went to see my bird, I found it ______on the floor of the cage. I was terribly surprised and sad! What had happened?
