Jeremy awoke early the next morning to the sound of a bird tapping on his little window. He opened it up, and the bird happily swooped in. He knew something about this blue jay. Something told Jeremy that he was without parents. So he closed the little widow and the little blue bird flew around the house.
In less than a few minutes, Jeremy could hear the bird tapping on the same little window, trying to get out. Jeremy hesitated, but then opened it up. “Easy come, easy go,” he mumbled and watched the bird glide away.
As Jeremy layed on his bed with the window open, (it was a beautiful day) he heard the familiar sound of fluttering wings. He excitedly looked out the window, and to his amazement, he saw the little blue jay coming back. “You were out getting worms to eat!” Jeremy realized.
He thought since he was bonding to the bird, he should give it a name. “Jay,” he said. “Plain and predictable, but nice. I think we should stick together, Jay. We’ve got one thing in common. We’ve been abandoned.”
