Mary loved small animals. One morning while she was walking in the forest, she found 1weak birds in the grass. She took them home and put them in a small cage. She cared them with love and the birds both grew2. They thanked her3a wonderful song every morning.

    But something happened one day. Mary left the door of the 4open. The larger bird flew from the cage. She thought that it would 5. As it flew close, she grasped (紧抓) it. She was very 6to catch it.7she felt strange. She opened her hand and looked sadly at the 8bird. Her great love had killed the bird!

    The other bird was moving back and forth (来回) in the cage. Mary could 9its great need for freedom (自由). It wanted to fly into the clear and blue10. At once, Mary took the bird 11the cage and let it fly away. The bird circled once, twice, three times…

    Mary enjoyed watching the bird flying and singing 12 Suddenly the bird flew13and landed softly on her head. It sang the 14song that she had ever heard.

    The easiest way to lose love is to hold it too tight. The best way to keep love is to 15it wings (翅膀).

    As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith's death(死亡), worries about amusement park safety(游乐场安全性) grow.

Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again.

"My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know," said Barry. She is one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling.

In 1995, Rosie's mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence(证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car.

"I couldn't believe that such a thing could happen still and again," said Barry. She believes Rosie's death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.

She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first.

There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn't accept that. "My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn't mean anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that's one too many," she said.
