One day a few years ago we had an uninvited guest—a sparrow.         the little bird had flown into our open garage. Then I         the bird before I saw it.
“What’s that?”I asked when I first heard the sound.
“It’s coming from the         .”my wife, Anita, said. “Maybe it’s one of the little         .”
I looked into the garage. No children at all. But there was that sound again, coming from right up there. And that’s          I saw the sparrow. It was flying         just inches below the ceiling. It was clearly         to get out, but couldn’t see the way out was not up, but         and and out through the garage door. So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumping its little head         the ceiling.
I tried to terrify it out, but only succeeded in driving it into the         open space between the door and the ceiling. Then I tried to show the bird how to fly down a few feet          it could get outside, but that only seemed to         it more.
“Why don’t we just leave for a few minutes,” Anita         .“I’m sure he’ll figure it out eventually.”
We went back into the house, where we         to hear the ongoing struggle between the sparrow and the ceiling. Then suddenly, it was         and our uninvited guest was gone.
I’ve         that little sparrow through the years, and I’ve decided that birds are not different much from people. We think we were         to fly ever upward, and we don’t even consider the         that something good might happen if we just fly down a little bit. Once we figure out that we can make         without banging（碰）our heads against ceilings, we can usually save ourselves much         .
