根据短文内容, 回答下列问题。
There was a tree in my garden. One day, two birds came to the tree and built a house for their three newborn(新生的)babies.
One day, I heard the sound of the little birds. I ran to the garden and found two babies eating food on the ground. I thought they dropped off their house, so I decided to help them get back to their house. At that time, the father bird and the mother bird came back. They had some food for the third baby. They put the food on the ground, far away from the third baby. To get the food, the baby had to fly to it.
The third baby was hungry, but she was afraid to get out of the house. To my surprise, the father bird and the mother bird just stood there and did nothing.
After about ten minutes, the third baby bird didn’t have any other choice. She slowly went to the border(边缘)of the house and began to fly. She flew off from the house. Finally, the third baby bird landed safely on the ground and found the food.
These birds taught me a lesson: if you want your food, you will have to learn to fly.
