That morning, I discovered something interesting in my yard. On the ground, still slightly damp with morning dew, I saw a small bird's nest that had fallen from a mango tree. The nest was made of fine twigs, dry leaves, and grass clippings, neatly arranged. When I picked it up and held it in my hand, I was amazed at how a small bird could build such a strong and orderly home with only simple natural materials.
The nest looked light, but upon closer inspection, it was remarkably dense. The small twigs intertwined, as if patiently woven. I imagined a small bird flying back and forth from one place to another, gathering materials to build its home atop the shady mango tree.
The mango tree in my yard is often a haven for various species of birds. Every morning, their chirping sounds could be heard, as if welcoming the new day. Sometimes I saw them flitting from branch to branch, searching for food or simply resting among the green leaves.
But this time, the small nest was already on the ground. Perhaps it had been blown away by a strong wind, or perhaps the branch it rested on was no longer strong enough to support it. Nature is indeed full of unpredictable events.
