You get your snout close to the baby bird to nudge it. It needs to get up and learn about its new name. Then you remember that you left a rock on it.

Remember that?

You put a rock on a tiny bird to keep it warm.

You did that.

Remember?

The baby bird remembered. And then it died. Because rocks are very heavy and not very warm. You have no idea what you were thinking when you put a rock on a tiny bird.

You push the rock off with your nose.

The lifeless little creature is not struggling to breathe now.

It is not breathing at all.

You choose to…

• …let the baby bird die.
