Ricky Bobby

It had been just like almost any other day. I go to school and I take Nate home just like I normally do. When I get home I start to pull into the driveway and I almost get all the way in when I see something and I just about ran it over. I hurry and get out of the car and see what I almost hit. There standing on the ground is a parakeet and it is about a foot away from my tire and it didn't move. So I started chasing it around trying to catch it. It finally flew over to Mariah's house where she and Andrew were talking. Andrew helped me catch this bird and I took it inside and put it in a pitcher. I immediately found it some food and started looking for the owner. After a couple of hours of looking for the owner I finally found someone that will take it. Well then the bird started "sleeping". I decided to make sure it wasn’t dead so I woke it up. It started walking around again then went back to sleep. I then go down stairs and I got answered for Homecoming and then Karen was going to come over and see the bird. I took the answer for Homecoming up into my room where Ricky Bobby, the bird, was. I saw that the bird wasn’t moving again so I tried waking it up again. This time the bird didn’t move. I took him down to my dad who had a parakeet when he was a kid. He picked him up then dropped him and said, "Yep, he's dead." This was the end to Ricky, so I took him outside and buried him.
