I loved this bird; I would 1 him for hours. He would 2 effortlessly in that gigantic sky, or he would come down and light on the 3 and float there beautifully. Sometimes when I watched him, he would not make a sound and liked to move 4 into the grasses. We called him meksikatsi, which in the Blackfoot language 5 "pink-colored feet"; meksikatsi and I became very good friends.

As I 17 to understand English better, I understand that it made a great deal of 18 , but I never forgot that meksikatsi made a different kind of meaning. I 19 that languages are not just different words for the same things but totally different 20 , totally different ways of experiencing and looking at the world. | ||||
