00:00Subway Sparrow by Laila Torres. At the Atlantic of a new station in Brooklyn, a sparrow flew into a subway car on the D train.

00:16Little bird, what are you doing down here?

00:19With a rumble, the train began to move.

00:23It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid. I want to help you.

00:31Mister, maybe you can catch him your hat.

00:37If I go that way maybe he'll fly toward you.

00:40Yes, run, run.

00:43The train rocked back and forth as it gained speed.

00:47Hey, there's a bird in here.

00:50I'll help, but my hands are so big I might hurt him.

00:54Oh, he flew away again.

00:57Oh no, he's off again.

00:59Oh dear, what are you doing in the train?

01:02We're slowing down. Let's catch him before the crowd gets on the train.

01:07He's up on his umbrella, don't touch his parasol.

01:12No, forget the umbrella, it might hurt him.

01:15My hat.

01:17Yeah, cover him with the scarf.

01:20Yes, we're covering him.

01:22Hurry, I'll pick him up.

01:38The doors of the subway car closed.

01:42With a hiss the train pulled away from the platform.

01:46His heart is beating so quickly, he's so soft like a little cloud in my hands.

01:52Adios, Kakariko.
