One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety. In fact, it was a bird,   1 a sparrow.

“What’s that?” I asked when I first heard the gentle thumping(重擊聲). “It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball,” my wife, Anita, said. She   2  and listened more devotedly. “It’s coming from the  3 .” she said. “Maybe it’s one of the little kids.”

We rushed out the door. Jonathan, our youngest, was  4 to make trouble. “If he’s making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there. No children       5  . But there was that  6  again, coming from right up there.

And that’s when I  7  the sparrow. It was flying  8 just inches below the ceiling. It was  9 trying to get out, but couldn’t see that the way out wasn’t up, but down 10  the open door. So the bird continued  11  its wings and hitting its head against the  12 .

“Poor thing,” Anita said. “It must be  13  .”  

“Well, maybe it’s because of us,” I said as I moved toward it. I tried to show the bird how to glide（滑翔） down to get outside, but that only seemed to  14   it more. “Why don’t we just 15 for a few minutes?” Anita suggested. “I’m sure he’ll    16 eventually.” So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing  17  .Then suddenly, it was silent. We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was gone.

“See?” Anita said. “I told you he’d succeed.”

“Yeah,” I said. “But how many knocks on the head did it 18  him?”

I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years. Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations we don’t know how to  19 . Born to go upward, we don’t even consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping（拍打）around and just glide  20 a little bit.
