Tweet, tweet!

"Oh my gosh! Look, it's a hummingbird!", everyone exclaimed as a tiny, little hummingbird flew into the classroom. Soon after, it kept flying around and diverting our attention from the teacher. It was flying past all the ceiling fans and then, it rested on the projector. Therefore, everyone ordered my friend, who is the nearest to the switches, to turn off the fans. For some reason, I suddenly realised that the bird seemed to be trapped in the classroom instead of resting and it looked pretty much like a baby. Just then, it started to tweet continuously and although everyone, including the teacher, was still amazed by it, I knew that it is definitely calling for help.
Many thoughts were running through my mind, including,"Uh oh, how is it supposed to get out?" Still trying its best to escape from the noisy classroom, it went to a window and perched on the window grille, staring at the outside of the classroom, as if it was about to say, "Dad, mum, come and get me!" And it continued to tweet by the window while trying to get out.
Then, as it was a great chance to take a shot and video for a blog entry, one of my classmate took out his handphone and asked," Can we use our phone to take a picture?" My teacher agreed and everyone took their phone out of their pockets and snapped pictures and this went on for minutes till....
Unexpectedly, another bigger hummingbird came and flew into the classroom. But just as it went in, everyone cheered and clapped so loud that it was frightened and flew away. Hence, everyone soon realised that they had to remain silent at all times till the small bird flies off. Quietly, everyone observed as the other one, which I thought was the father, came to try to get the baby. However, he failed again and again, and I also managed to take a video of them meeting each other by the window. Finally, against all odds, the baby squeezed through the gap of the window and flew into the open. Everyone went, "Yeah! Woohoo!" But the atmosphere was broken when the teacher interrupted and continued with the class, but that's another story.
In conclusion, it would remain in my mind as a pretty unusual but memorable situation that happened in my life because I was actually able to learn a lesson from the bird. One must not always rely on others when one has adversities and that one has to persist till one can finally succeed in overcoming them, just like what the little bird did today....

"Looking out for Dad..."



  

"Daddy!"





  "I'll be back!"
