放手，也是爱的方式

从前有一个孤独的小女孩，她非常渴求爱。有一天当她在森林里散步的时候，她看到了两只奄奄一息的小鸟。她把它们带回家，放进一个小笼子里。她很开心拥有了两个新朋友。她充满爱心地去照顾两只鸟儿，它们很快强壮起来。

一天，笼子的门碰巧是开着的。那只大点儿并更强壮些的鸟儿趁机飞出了笼子。小女孩担心它会飞走，她迅速地抓住了它。在鸟儿飞走之前把它抓住了，小女孩感到非常高兴。突然，她听不到鸟儿的叫声了。当她张开手时，发现那只鸟儿已经死了。是她的爱杀死了这只鸟儿！这时她注意到另一只鸟儿正在笼子里上上下下地跳动。她能感受到它对自由的强烈渴望。它想飞往清澈的、蔚蓝的天空里。于是她从笼子里把它举起来，让它高兴地飞向蓝天。鸟儿飞旋了一圈、两圈、三圈......当鸟儿在空中盘旋的时候，小女孩开心极了。她不再在意失去鸟儿了。她想让它快乐起来。突然，小鸟飞向她，唱着她曾经听过的最动听的歌，轻轻地落在了她的肩头上。

失去爱的最快的方式是紧紧抓住它；而拥有爱的最好的方式是给它一双羽翼，让它自由翱翔。

There was once a lonely girl who wanted love very much.One day while she was walking in the forest,she found two dying birds.She took them home and put them in a small cage.She was happy to have two"friends".She looked after them with love and the birds grew strong soon.

One day it happened that the door of the cage was open.The larger and stronger of the two birds flew out of the cage.The girl was afraid that it would fly away,so she caught it quickly.She felt glad that she caught the bird before it could fly away.Suddenly she couldn't hear any sound from the bird.When she opened her hand, the bird was dead.Her love had killed the bird!Then she noticed the other bird jumping up and down inside the cage.She could feel its great need for freedom.It wants to fly into the clear,blue sky.She lifted it from the cage and flew it into the air.The bird circled once,twice,three times...When the bird was flying happily in the sky, she was so glad.She didn't care about losing the bird any more.She wanted it to be happy.Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.It sang the sweetest song she had ever heard.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
