It was a bright and sunny day, so the door into the church was left wide open. A little bird flew in the open doorway and hopped around. He saw the light coming through the glass windows in the high ceiling and soared up, expecting to be in the sky again. But he found himself shut in.

"We wanted to let the bird out but could not coax it down. At last it was so late we had to lock the church for the night and leave the little bird inside.
