| Summary | "Little Henry and His Bird" by Anonymous is a children's story written in the early 19th century. This narrative explores themes of compassion, freedom, and the bond between a child and nature. The story follows the character of Little Henry and his interactions with a wounded bird, reflecting upon the joys and sorrows associated with caring for another living creature. In the book, Little Henry finds a red bird injured by a cat and, driven by empathy, he nurses it back to health. As he develops a bond with the bird, he imagines it as a permanent companion. However, when the bird ultimately chooses to join others in the wild rather than remain confined, Henry learns a valuable lesson about the importance of freedom and happiness in nature. The tale concludes with Henry finding joy in a new experience with a kite, which symbolizes the uplifting feeling of watching something soar freely, reminiscent of his brief but impactful connection with the bird.
