在一个宁静的小村庄里，住着一个名叫汤姆的小男孩。汤姆非常喜欢动物，尤其是小鸟。每天清晨，他都会跑到院子里，希望能看到那些可爱的小鸟。

一天清晨，汤姆发现了一只受伤的小鸟。它的翅膀似乎受了伤，无法飞翔。汤姆立刻决定帮助这只小鸟。他小心翼翼地将小鸟捧在手心里，带回了家。

汤姆的妈妈是一位善良的护士，她教汤姆如何照顾受伤的小动物。汤姆按照妈妈的指导，给小鸟清洗伤口，并为它准备了一个温暖的小窝。

几天后，小鸟渐渐恢复了健康。汤姆每天都和小鸟玩耍，给它讲故事，还教它一些简单的单词。小鸟似乎也很喜欢汤姆，每当汤姆说话时，它总是歪着头认真地听着。

终于有一天，小鸟完全康复了。汤姆带着小鸟来到院子里，轻轻对它说：“你可以飞了。”小鸟展翅高飞，在天空中盘旋了几圈，然后飞向远方。

虽然小鸟离开了，但汤姆感到非常开心。他知道，小鸟回到了属于它的自由世界。从那以后，汤姆更加热爱自然，也更懂得珍惜生命。

Short English Story with Translation for Grade 5 Students

In a quiet village, there lived a boy named Tom. Tom loved animals, especially birds. Every morning, he would run to the yard, hoping to see those lovely little birds.

One morning, Tom found a wounded bird. Its wing seemed injured and it couldn't fly. Tom immediately decided to help the bird. He carefully picked up the bird and brought it home.

Tom's mother was a kind nurse who taught Tom how to take care of injured animals. Following his mother's instructions, Tom cleaned the bird's wound and prepared a warm nest for it.

A few days later, the bird gradually recovered. Tom played with the bird every day, told it stories, and even taught it some simple words. The bird seemed to like Tom too; whenever Tom spoke, it always tilted its head attentively.

Finally, one day, the bird was fully recovered. Tom took the bird to the yard and gently said, "You can fly now." The bird spread its wings and flew high into the sky, circling a few times before flying away.

Although the bird left, Tom felt very happy. He knew that the bird had returned to its free world. From then on, Tom loved nature even more and understood life better.
