It's completed, but I didn't want to be graded as completed, so I changed the progress to "paused".
Ever since she was very young, Hailey has noticed that there is always a mockingbird parked outside her window. The little bird's gray feathers are shiny and the color is not pretty, but it sings quite nicely and is still very lovable. God was fair, she thought, at least just barely - He didn't give her a father, so he gave her the mockingbird instead.
Until one day, to be precise, on her eighth birthday, the little one didn't come, but a guest she had never seen before came to her garden. It was a man with a very friendly smile...
Dad will give you a mockingbird if you want it
I will give all my hands in the world to you
I will give you a diamond ring to shine
I will sing for you
And work tirelessly for you
All just to make you smile
And if the birds don't sing and the rings don't shine
i will kill that mockingbird
I'm going to find the jeweler who sells diamonds
and let him swallow every carat
Tell him, don't mess with your dad

Another thought came to my mind after listening to Eminem's Mockingbird. It's very touching. The self-translated lyrics cannot convey the flavor of the original English words. I think all fathers in the world have the same love for their daughters, but they all have to watch their little girl be taken away by some bastard one day, even though he is the man who loves her most in the world... Haha, the last sentence is purely a joke.
