The Bird Is Missing [Chinese]

By: Wen, Ai Ning

Grandma Bear left him a beautiful clay pot before she passed away, but he accidentally broke it, losing several pieces. His good friend, Little Bird, couldn't bear to see him sad, so he carefully repaired the pot and, before leaving for his friend, transformed it into a musical instrument that could produce beautiful sounds--a xun (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument). When Little Bear happily played the xun, producing beautiful music, he accepted his parting in the music. In the beautiful melody, he seemed to see his good friend Little Bird and his smiling grandma... Separation is a lesson everyone must learn, but love is forever. Although the cherished clay pot was broken, love will give it new life--imperfection can sometimes be a kind of fulfillment.
