A Girl Who Dreams of Open Skies

There once was a bird who lived in a cage, kept high out of reach of the world. By day, she would dance to the tune of her father's song, and by night, she would watch the world outside, see the people laughing and playing. But no matter how much she asked, he would never let her out of her cage. 'You have more important things to do.' 'Games last a day - skills are for a lifetime.' 'When you own this company, they'll be down in the offices working for you.'

And so she could but dream of flying free.

One day, due to an unforeseeable accident, the bird found the door to her cage wide open. She stumbled out and took a deep breath of the fresh air, saw the expanse of the horizon in all directions. She spread her wings, and for the first time, felt the unbound air around her. Given this new freedom, what did she do? The only thing she knew how - work.
