de cage door was open but de little bird was apprehensive of flying.. afraid tat once she took flight.. de cage door would close n she would be locked out... neva again able to return to the protected environment where everything was provided for her.... conflicting thots dashed ard her mind like speeding bumper cars... shld she join her frenx outside de cage n live enjoy de freedom n de wilderness?? or stay in her cage where she would be secure n filled wif warmth?? de grass is alwaez greener on de other side...
