Larke Luna shared a story on the Internet about her 2-year-old son, Tim, and a wild crow ( 乌鸦) named Russell. It deeply touched the 1 of millions of people. We have all 2 children becom- ing lifelong friends with their pets. But surely no one thought that a crow could be such a pet.
Last August, Larke Luna 3 a little crow home. Because Larke Luna couldn’t find the crow’s parents, she decided to 4 the poor little bird and called it Russell.
“Russell is a wild bird. It’s not around Tim all the time. However, when Tim takes it out, it’ll never 5 Tim’s side,” said Larke. “They have a special 6,” she added. And in fact, in some of the shared videos, we can see when Tim goes out alone, no matter how late he comes back, Russell waits Tim 7.
Crows are clever birds that live together in 8. They can remember lots of things and even make and use tools to get food. Some scientists even compare the intelligence ( 智力) of the crow to a seven-year-old child’s. They found that crows are as 9 as a seven-year-old child. They learn from each other and pass on their knowledge. So it’s not so surprising that Russell is so 10 to be with Tim and really likes his loving family.
The friendship between Tim and Russell shows that where there is care and attention, there’s true love and happiness.
