In a city, there was a bird. The bird lived in a tree near to a cemetery, in a nest on a bent branch. He used to see people crying, praying knelt for their loved ones who died. One man was always digging to bury the dead people. It was John, the gravedigger. The bird liked him because he fed him with bits of bread, that the bird bit quickly, everyday. John was the only human that could get near to the bird. From other people, the animal flew away.
One night, the branch where the bird lived burst. The bird fell down, and part of the branch fell over him and hit him. The bird got seriously hurt. John, who lived near to the cemetery, was dreaming that he was taking vacations at a paradise island when he heard the sound and woke up. He ran to the tree and found the bird. He was in the middle of the "wreckage", so John crept to the place where the bird was. He held him and brought the bird to his house, where he laid the animal. He didn't get better, so John took him to a veterinary team who was led by a friend of him. It will be expensive for the gravedigger, but he was able to do anything for his friend.They gave some medicines to the bird and said to John to let the animal rest.
John was feeling sad, thinking that the bird was going to die. But some days after, the bird got better. John got very happy. The animal kept living with the bird, and they lived together until the end of their lives.
