2. Retell the entire story.
On the edge of the small garden fence, there was a freshly bloomed white daisy amidst the wild grass. A songbird perched down, chirping cheerfully, saying: 'Oh Daisy! You're so lovely and adorable!'. The white daisy tilted its head, listening intently, with indescribable joy in its heart. The songbird chirped affectionately before soaring into the deep blue sky.
Early the next morning, the white daisy eagerly spread its petals to welcome the sunrise, anticipating the arrival of the songbird, only to hear a mournful melody echoing nearby. The songbird had been imprisoned in a cage. Despite the white daisy's desire to rescue its friend, it could do nothing.
Suddenly, two boys entered the garden, gathering grass and daisies to feed the captive bird. The songbird, thirsty and confined, pecked at the wet grass to alleviate its hunger. Emitting a sweet, comforting fragrance, the white daisy tried to console its friend. Despite devouring all the grass, the songbird refrained from touching the flower. As night fell, the boys neglected the suffering bird, denying it a drop of water. That night, the songbird passed away. The white daisy, full of pity, shed tears until it withered beside the songbird's body.
In the morning, upon discovering the bird's lifeless body, the two boys expressed regret and sorrow. They carefully placed the songbird's body in a beautifully crafted box and buried it with care. Poor little bird! While alive, the boys had allowed it to perish due to neglect and thirst. As for the white daisy, had the boys been more considerate, it would still be blooming under the sunlight today.
The end of the story is truly sad, isn't it, friends? Let's not be indifferent and cruel like those two boys, shall we?
