I live in a cage, eat seeds, and am very fond of flies and spiders.

Sometimes they let me out of the cage and I fly about the room and catch

flies. I like to catch them while they are flying.

When I am tired I stop and sing. There is a vase of flowers in front of

the mirror.

I fly to this vase where I can see myself in the glass. Then I sing as

loud as I can. They like to hear me sing.
