[00:15.92]ROBIN'S REVENGE!?
[00:24.76]复仇的知更鸟!
[00:36.42]It was late summer
[00:37.97]and we were playing there at around dusk,
[00:40.80]trying not to think about the upcoming school year
[00:43.59]that was just around the corner.
[00:46.19](Picture red sunsets twinkling off of the broken glass pieces
[00:50.50]and our very long shadows on the ground.)
[00:54.08]Now, Steven was a bit of a problem child
[00:57.19]and had a skewed view of things from the get go.
[01:00.66]It was he, that noticed about twenty yards away from us,
[01:05.24]something fluttering on the dirt beneath another tree
[01:08.24]that we had dubbed "The Chin-Up tree,"
[01:11.40]due to one long branch that stuck out from the base
[01:14.86]just high enough for us to show off at.
[01:17.99]What it was a baby robin!
[01:20.28]Worried, we all scampered over to it
[01:23.00]and saw to our grief that it had fallen out of the tree
[01:26.81]and broken a wing.
[01:29.02]After much deliberating,
[01:31.02]Steven being convinced
[01:32.87]that because he had picked up the bird,
[01:35.02]it's parents would abandon the bird
[01:38.00]because "our" scent was all over it.
[01:41.06]So... (Brace yourselves.)
[01:44.10]Steven killed the bird with his pocketknife.
[01:47.88]My brother and I were scared of Steven
[01:50.37]and didn't try to stop him.
[01:52.98]Steven plucked out the birds still beating heart.
[01:56.59]We could see it pumping furiously in his grimy hand.
[02:00.85]He then put the heart in my hand
[02:02.74]where I felt it beating and slowing.
[02:05.59]I put it in my brother's hand,
[02:08.04]where it beat once or twice more then stopped. Dead.
[02:12.35]We all stood and stared at each other
[02:16.03]with tears in our eyes at what we had witnessed,
[02:19.79]at what WE were all a part of.
