JANE had a bird that she kept in a cage.
It was so tame that it would come to be fed from her hand.
Now and then she would let it out; and it would sit on the top of the cage or fly round the room
As she liked best to feed it, no one else fed the bird but her.
One day her aunt sent her a box of new toys. She was so pleased with them, that she played all day with them. That day Jane did not feed her bird.
Next day a friend came to see Jane, and once more the poor bird got no food.
Jane and her friend played all day with the box of toys.
On the third day Jane did not care so much for the toys, and she went once more to play with her bird.
She went up to the cage with some nice seed to give to it.
But the poor bird lay dead in the cage. It had died for want of food.
Oh, what pain it must have felt!
Boys and girls, keep this sad tale in your minds, and be kind to your pets.
珍妮在笼子里养了一只鸟。
小鸟好温顺啊，都能从珍妮手上啄东西吃。
珍妮时不时会把小鸟放出来，小鸟就会坐在笼子顶上，要么就会在房间里一圈圈地飞。
珍妮最喜欢喂小鸟了，只能她自己喂，别人都不能喂。
有一天，姑姑送给珍妮一盒新玩具。珍妮喜欢极了，玩玩具玩了一整天，那一天珍妮就没有喂鸟。
第二天，有个朋友来找珍妮玩，可怜的小鸟又没吃到东西。
珍妮跟朋友又把玩具玩了一整天。
第三天，珍妮不那么喜欢玩具了，又去跟朋友玩了。
珍妮来到笼子跟前，拿着点儿好吃的谷粒，要喂给鸟儿。
但可怜的鸟儿已经死了，一动不动躺在笼子里面。它是饿死的。
唉，鸟儿肯定痛苦极了！
孩子们，记住这个悲伤的故事吧。一定要好好照顾你的宠物！
