1. “Once, after a stormy night, we found a sparrow nestling on the ground under our balcony. He was very small, still blind, and at first it seemed to us that he was dead.”
2. “But he turned out to be alive, and we brought him home and put him in a box in our room. We tried to feed him, but to no avail. And when he started chirping loudly, we took the box out onto the balcony.”
3. “He did not stop tweeting for three hours in a row and, finally, another sparrow flew to our balcony - the father of the chick, who began to feed him. Every 15 minutes he brought him bugs and breadcrumbs.”
4. “So the parent fed him for two weeks.”
5. "The chick grew noticeably and got stronger, but still remained blind."
6. “We went to the vet who prescribed eye drops for our pet.”
7. “Soon the sparrow recovered completely and began to play with us, hiding behind the flowers that were in pots on the balcony.”
8. “The father kept visiting the chick and one day showed him how to fly out the open window.”
9. “We knew this moment would come, that he would get better and leave us.”
10. “But we were very worried, because when he flew away, terrible weather began again, which lasted for several more days.”
11. “How pleasantly surprised we were when our sparrow returned to us. We found him on the balcony sleeping peacefully among his favorite flowers.”
