In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies. One day as I walked around the house with my sister Kathy’s new parakeet （小鹦鹉）on my finger, I wanted to show Perky 16_____ the sky looked like. Maybe he could make a little bird friend out there. I took him into the backyard, and then, to my 17______, Perky flew off. The enormous（巨大的）, blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue treasure and suddenly he had gone, clipped wings and all.
Kathy managed to forgive me. With fake optimism（乐观）, she even tried to reassure （安慰）me that Perky would find a new 18 ______. But I was far too clever to 19______ that such a thing was possible.
Decades later, I watched my own 20_______ growing. We shared their activities, spending soccer Saturdays in folding chairs with the parents of the kids’ friends, the Kissells. The two families went camping around Arizona together. We became the best of friends. One evening, the game was to tell Great Pet stories. One person claimed（宣称） to 21______ the oldest living goldfish. Someone else had a psychic dog. Then Barry, the father of the other family, took the floor and 22 ________ that the Greatest Pet of All Time was his blue parakeet, Sweetie Pie.
"The best thing 23______ Sweetie Pie," he said, "was the way we got him. One day, when I was about eight, out of the clear, blue sky, a little blue parakeet just floated down and landed on my finger."
When I was finally able to 24_______ , we examined the amazing evidence（证据）. The dates and the locations and the pictures of the bird all matched up. It seems our two families had been connected long before we ever met. Forty years later, I ran to my sister and said, "You were 25_______! Perky lived!"

“But most of all,” he said，“I must thank you for the _45_ you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪）had just _46_ through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”
