- One day a man was catching birds. When he went home he kelp the birdlime in his pocket. He had to go to college that night. When he was going to college he did not want to have the birdlime with him and he left it in a field. When he was going home he went out for the birdlime to the field. When he went out to the field he got the birdlime. Then he could not get out of the field. He went round and round the field. Then after a while he saw a light and he went towards the light. It was the light of a man's window. When he came to the house he got out of the field and went home.
