Today something interesting happened in our garden. Two birds were chirping loudly while we were weeding under a tree. At first, we thought the birds were just happy to see us. We did not pay much attention to them.

   Suddenly Nurul was screaming and running towards us, while pointing at a rose bush. Something was moving in there. We all thought it was a snake and stayed far away. Mr. Ramesh went closer to look.

    A few minutes later, he rose from the bush smiling. He was holding nestling in his handkerchief! It must have fallen from its nest. The nestling was not hurt, and was trying hard to free itself. It was also chirping.

    The adult birds began chirping even louder now. We realised that they were worried about their baby, so Mr. Ramesh climbed up a ladder and put the nestling back into its nest. 

   Immediately, the two adult birds went back to their nest to comfort their nestling. It was a very touching moment. Nurul almost cried.
