I'm a young pigeon that have a beautiful white feathers. In the beginning of my life when I was in a pet store with my mother. There are more than 100 heads of animals. My mother give me some fed to eat.

          One day, a little boy and his father came into the store to ask the storekeeper about my price. I was surprised to find that the boy actually want to buy me. As young as a month, I have been forced to part with my mother. I feel so sad when leaving my mother. But as a dove, this is very usual and should be faced. 

          Since then, my life began to change. I eat foods that are expensive given by my master. He treated me very well. Every day I will bring cheer to him. Caress him against me makes me so happy. He took me everywhere he went. He often brought me to the veterinarian for a medical check. He was so concerned about my health. He bought a cage that is so beautiful and comfortable for me.

          Day after another, until one day he bought a new animal which is a rabbit that has beautiful feathers and cute. Starting from that day on, I often set aside. he often spent time with the rabbits. The rabbit is so cute and loved by him. I only given food as always but not yet spoiled. He no longer spend time with me. He seems to have forgotten about me.

          I've seen other birds fly freely and chirping. At that point I just hope that I can fly freely like other birds. I also want to be free and truly hope to meet my mother again because I really miss him. Until one day I overheard his conversations with his father that he wanted to sell me as he has had a new pet.

          One day when he wants to pull me out of the cage, I wagging my wings with strong and fast. I finally, slipping from his hands and flew over. And now I'm free, free to breathe fresh air, free from being cooped up in a cage, free to fly go here and there, free to wagging my wings.

          I now realize that it's still fun to live freely and I'm also happy because has been pet to him. I am very grateful for having loves  and cared before this.
