“A Bird´s Crime”

by

Loreto Marsal (2º ESO)


            He sat staring at the TV, but it was switched off.  He was thinking about how much he wanted to go for a walk.


            Suddenly Mia appeared.  She screeched, “Disco, it’s raining outside, but I’m going to open the window.  I’m hot!” She shook her finger at him and said, “Don’t go outside.”


            Mia threw the window open and went back to her room.


            She’s going to sleep, Disco thought.  The road isn’t so long.   Just a short ride, no more than 10 minutes.


            He waddled to the window, stopped at the sill, and looked both ways.  Then he jumped out!


            Several hours later when he came back, no one had even noticed.  Disco went inside his cage, his jail cell, and fell asleep.
            The next day he woke with a terrible headache.  Mia was there.  She said, “While you were sleeping, I heard your coughs.  I took your temperature.  Such a fever!  I won’t be opening the window anytime soon!"
