Question

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 (蹤跡) of 30      ,she wouldn't go near the 31      again.

As we began to walk away,a woman32       . "Did it fall out of a nest？"she asked.

"Yeah. ”I answered.

"It33      a lot. Not much we can do," she said. "Try not to think about it when you go to sleep tonight."

I walked34      the mailbox the next day. The baby bird lay 35        in the grass.

I realize that trying not to think about it is the 36        of many people towards things which 37        to provide them with perfect excuses 38        not bothering. The woman wasn't being39      ;she was actually quite nice. But when everyone says "there's40      I can do—just try not to think about it"? where will we finally41       ？

When billions of people42      try not to think about it and go to bed at night,there might be millions of fallen birds lying dead and 43        in the grass the next morning.
