One day I was walking to the mailbox with my dad,when I saw something drop from a tree. I couldn't 24        what it was,so I kept my eyes on the spot as we came near. It was a baby bird,which had fallen from its nest. It had long,awkward wings and feet,and25      that fought to stay open. It was26      ,so I sat next to it watching while my dad got the mail. I27      its nest and mother,28       what had happened to it.

My dad said we had to29      it; there was nothing we could do. He said if the bird mother smelled any traces (踪迹) of 30      ,she wouldn't go near the 31      again.
