While I have yet to experience the thrills of fatherhood, I would be astounded to learn that

the poem, the father starts to reminisce about an incident that occurred two years prior, in
the very same room that his daughter is working. He tells a story of a starling, which had
become trapped, inside the room. Both the father...
