My daughter has been crazy about raising a pet for a long time.

Last spring I bought two newly-hatched chickens for her. She got _______ and took good care of them. _______, a few days later, both chickens died. She _______ into tears because of their death. I helped her _______ the two chickens under a tree behind our house. I thought it would be the _______ of her ideas.

_______ , I was wrong. Children are children _______. The failure hasn't _______ my daughter in any way. She still tried to keep a small animal or even a snail.

One day last winter, I _________ under the eaves (屋檐) of the house a family of sparrows. My daughter and I could ________ the sparrows as our "pets", but we didn't.

So I told her to scatter(撒) the grains in the windowsill. A few minutes later, the sparrows came to land on the windowsill ________ and pecked(啄) at the rice. Suddenly my daughter asked me, “Mum, can we catch and ________ the sparrows, and let them live with us in the room? How ________ it is for them to live outside.”

"Oh, my dear, I do not think it's a good ________ . You know, " I explained to her. “the sparrow is a bird that loves ________. No one can keep them in a cage. If they are caught, they will ________ quickly. They are ________ to living outside. Moreover, they have warm nest under the eaves."
