I found a strange little bird orphaned and wandering alone by the riverside. I couldn't leave it there so I brought him home and took care of him. Who would have known what kind of bird this little guy really was? It was the first time I had ever seen such a special bird. Day by day, he became stronger and grew up. Three months later, he had fully grown and looked just like a heron. I thought about it for a long time. In the end, I decided to let him return to where he belonged. One year later, I unexpectedly met him again with his whole family. Maybe love isn't always about keeping them but learning to let them be free.
