There was once an animal born in this world, and opened my eyes to life, he saw above him locked up and the wall, and before him the iron cross bar through which to air and light from the outside, this animal was born in a cage.
Here he grew up, and throve in strength and beauty under the care of an invisible hand protection . Hunger and thirst, food is always at hand. When he was given thirsty, and when he felt the need to rest, there is provided a bed of straw on which to lie, and here he found it good, lick her handsome arms, to soak in the rays, which he thought existed, but to brighten your home.
awaken one day from the rest of his laziness, lo! cage door stood open: accident had opened it. In the corner of the garden, he bent down, wondering and fearingly. Then slowly he was approaching the door, fear the unfamiliar, and will be closed, but for a task as his limbs are purposeful. So, apart from the opening he pushed his head to see the trees in the sky grows larger, and waxing wider world.
In his corner, but not to rest, allowing the Unknown passed him, and again, and again he went to open the door, see each lighter.
Then one time stood in its flood; a deep breath indrawn - a bracing strong limbs, and with one bound he was gone.

Just like that, as if she is a fancy chandelier . That's how he did it. And the story goes, she never forgave him. She looked out the window of her whole life, how many women sit their sadness on an elbow.
