In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies. One day as I walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet (長尾鸚鵡) on my finger, I wanted to show Perky

  1   the sky looked like. Maybe he could make a little bird   2   out there. I took him into the backyard, and then, to my   3  , Perky flew off. The extremely large, blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue   4   and suddenly he was gone, clipped (夾住) wings and all.

Kathy managed to   5   me. With fake optimism, she even tried to reassure (使安心) me that Perky would find a new   6. But I was far too clever to   7   that such a thing was possible.

Decades later, I watched my own   8   growing. We shared their activities, spending soccer Saturdays in folding chairs with the   9   of the kids’ friends, the Kissells. The two families went camping around Arizona together. We became the   10   of friends. One evening, the game was to tell Great Pet stories. One person claimed to   11   the oldest living goldfish. Someone else had a psychic dog.   12   Barry, the father of the other family, took the floor and   13   that the Greatest Pet of All Time was his blue parakeet, Sweetie Pie.

“The best thing   14   Sweetie Pie,” he said, “was the   15   we got him. One day, when I was about eight, out of the clear, blue sky, a little blue parakeet just   16   down and landed on my finger.”

When I was finally able to   17  , we examined the amazing evidence. The dates and the locations and the pictures of the bird all   18  . It seems our two families had been   19   long before we ever met. Forty years later, I ran to my sister and said, “You were   20  ! Perky lived!”
