Life In My Hands!

Some days ago I had seen a humming bird nest on a plant in my backyard.

It had made its nest in a calm dry edge where the rain could not extend its wet hands. The bird

had made it such a way that there was a roof like thing above. I never did venture to look inside

the nest whether there were eggs or not. But soon I had an opportunity to see it though sadly.

Today morning I went to watch the nest but I was not able to see it hang on the plant. But I saw it on the ground .Oh! It had fallen down. How painful.

I gently took the nest and looked inside. There were two little brown eggs. Thank God!

they were not broken. My next step was to hang it safely again so that the bird can hatch

its lovely eggs. I bought a rope, very strong one and tied the nest to another strong branch. I was afraid whether the mother bird would return to its nest. But to my surprise the bird came and got into its nest happily and thankfully looked at me. I became proud of myself for helping the bird out form the misery and the bird gave me a thankful smile as a reward.

I think I had made the nest more comfortable for the bird because as it was with a rope that I had tied the nest swayed to the breeze like a cradle.

Now I am looking forward the eggs to hatch into beautiful humming birds!
