## Three heart event

 **Dinda:**I can’t believe the Pufferfish corporation, can you?
 **Joko:**It’s unbelievable.
 **Dinda:**To waltz into our town like this and just try to take over?
The nerve! The gall!
 **Joko:**The humanity!
 **Dinda:**Don’t get all funny with me, Joko.
It’s a serious problem.
 **Joko:**I know it is, sweetie.
I just don’t see what it has to do with lunch.
 **Dinda:***\*grumble\**
 **Joko:**Archie, my boy!
Join us?
 **Archie:**No, thanks.
 **Dinda:**I’m making pancakes. Your favorite!
 **Archie:**No, thanks.
 **Dinda:**That was weird. He loves my pancakes.
 **Joko:**More for me, then!
…I mean *us*.
More for us.
 **Dinda:**Something’s up with that boy, have you noticed?
He’s always rushing around these days, like he’s late for something.
Never enough time for his parents.
He’s… I don’t know.
Distracted.
 **Joko:**The boy’s growing up, honeycake. He needs his own space.
That’s all this is.
Do you want me to talk to him?
 **Dinda:**No.
No, I don’t think so.
Let’s give him some time. Maybe he’ll come to us.
 **Joko:**He may, he may not.
We don’t know for sure.
All we do know is that we seem to have forgotten the maple syrup.

## Four heart event

 **Archie:**Hey, Mom.
 **Dinda:**Archie! So nice to see you, dear. What can I—
 **Archie:**So, do we have any extra newspapers lying around?
 **Dinda:**Did you take a sudden interest in the news?
 **Archie:**Sure, I guess.
I think sawdust might work too.
Can I take some?
 **Dinda:**What’s going on, Archie?
 **Archie:**Nothing. I just…
You know what, forget it.
...
 **Dinda:**You can talk to me, Archie, if there’s something going on.
Since when do you not talk to me?
 **Archie:**It’s nothing, Mom.
 **Dinda:**Is this…
Is this about a girl?
 **Archie:**What? No, ew!
Mom, why would you say that?
 **Dinda:**I don’t know! You’ve been so secretive lately.
All this time alone, scurrying around the house doing who knows what?
I just thought…
 **Archie:**Ew!
 **Dinda:**Okay, okay. A couple years too early for that one.
But it’s *something*, Archie.
 **Archie:**I don’t know…
 **Dinda:**You can tell me.
 **Archie:**…okay.
One minute.
 **Dinda:**What is this?
Is that…is that a bird?
 **Archie:**A white-breasted wood wren.
I found him lying in the woods a couple days ago, Mom. I think his wing is broken.
 **Dinda:**This is what you’ve been…?
 **Archie:**I couldn’t just leave him there, Mom. I couldn’t!
He would have died!
And I know you and Dad don’t like animals so I didn’t want to…
 **Dinda:**Hey, who said we don’t like animals?
 **Archie:**Dad says it. Like, all the time.
 **Dinda:**I guess…
I mean, we’re not animal lovers per se, kiddo, but an injured bird is something else altogether.
You want to nurse him back to health? I’ll help.
 **Archie:**You…you will?
 **Dinda:**Of course I will, sweetie! This is a wonderful thing you’re doing.
You don’t have to hide it from us.
 **Archie:**Oh...okay. That would be great!
Thanks, Mom!
You hear that, Mr. Beaks? Mom’s going to help!
 **Dinda:**Of course I will.
Let’s start right now. I think I have a few empty shoeboxes in the house.
That will make for a great nest for Mr. Beaks, don’t you think?
 **Archie:**Yeah. Yeah!

## Six heart event

 **Archie:**This new nest is awesome, Mom.
It's perfect!
 **Dinda:**That's great, dear.
 **Archie:**It's so nice and warm in here. I bet Mr. Beaks loves it.
Do you think he loves it, Mom?
 **Dinda:**I bet so.
 **Archie:**He moved, Mom!
 **Dinda:**That's great! Archie, I have a lot of work to—
 **Archie:**I think he's hungry again.
I'll go get some worms!
 **Dinda:**Careful!
 **Archie:**Come on, Mr. Beaks. Nice and juicy, just how you like them!
 **Dinda:**Blech...
 **Archie:**I guess he's not hungry after all.
 **Dinda:**Well, we'll try again in a bit, okay?
 **Archie:**Sure.
I'm going to see if he wants to fly yet!
He doesn't.
I'm not even sure he knows he's outside.
 **Dinda:**Look, Archie. I know you're excited, but these things take time.
We’re keeping him warm, we’re keeping him comfortable, we’re giving him food.
That’s all we can really do.
 **Archie:**I... I just...
 **Dinda:**I know, sweetie. I know.
Have some hope.
It’ll work out, you’ll see.
At least, I hope it will...

## Seven heart event

 **Archie:**Mr. Beaks isn't moving, Mom.
 **Dinda:**I know, Archie. Maybe he's sleeping.
 **Archie:**His eyes are open.
 **Dinda:**Well...maybe he's just resting.
 **Archie:**I guess.
I know! Maybe I can make him a little pillow!
 **Dinda:**Sure! That'd be nice.
That was quick. How'd you do that?
 **Archie:**Just a couple of cotton balls and some glue.
Here, let’s see if he likes it.
There.
I don’t know. Do you think he wants a bigger one?
 **Dinda:**He probably just needs to rest, Archie.
Why don’t we just let him be for a bit?
 **Archie:**Okay.
 **Dinda:**Why don’t you go outside for a little bit?
Take a walk, get some fresh air.
It’ll be good for you.
 **Archie:**No, I want to stay.
 **Dinda:**...okay.

## Eight heart event

 **Joko:**It hasn’t moved in how long?
 **Dinda:**Hours, now.
 **Joko:**Any chance the thing’s just…you know…?
 **Dinda:**I’m no animal expert, but I hope I can tell the difference between alive and dead. Don’t you think so?
 **Joko:**…I think so too.
 **Dinda:**The poor boy. He tried so hard. He’s so sweet.
 **Joko:**I know.
 **Archie:**Wuh…Mom? Dad? Wha—?
Mr. Beaks! Is he…?
 **Dinda:**I’m sorry, Archie. Mr. Beaks…he didn’t make it.
I know…sweetie, I know you tried. You tried so hard. But sometimes…
 **Archie:**It’s not fair.
 **Dinda:**…sometimes there’s just nothing you can do.
 **Archie:**It’s not fair.
 **Joko:**Poor kid. Do you want me to…?
 **Dinda:**Not yet. Let’s give him some space.

## Nine heart event

 **Dinda:**Is this seat taken?
Is this…is this where you found Mr. Beaks?
You did a great thing, Archie. A wonderful thing. You have such a kind heart.
The amount of work you put in, the dedication you showed, you did everything humanly possible to give Mr. Beaks a fighting chance at life.
 **Archie:**I could have done more.
 **Dinda:**That’s not true.
 **Archie:**I could have. Maybe I could have found him earlier. Maybe he needed to be warmer. Maybe I shouldn’t have given him the pillow, I don’t know. Something. I…I…
 **Dinda:**Listen to me, Archie. You did everything you could to help Mr. Beaks.
You did more than anyone else would have, and it’s not fair that Mr. Beaks died. It’s not. But that’s the thing. Sometimes, life just isn’t fair.
You can do everything perfectly, but you never know for sure how things will shake out until they shake out. All we can do is do our best.
 **Archie:**So…what’s the point, then? What’s the point of even trying?
 **Dinda:**I know this story didn’t have the ending you were hoping for, but it doesn’t take away what you did.
You gave that poor creature comfort at the end of his life.
You did good, and your father and I are so proud of you.
 **Archie:**I miss him, Mom. I didn’t even know him, and I miss him.
 **Dinda:**You know what? I miss him too.

## Ten heart event

 **Joko:**Thank you for coming into our lives, Mr. Beaks. I never got the chance to meet you, but I understand you were a swell bird.
 **Archie:**White-breasted wood wren, Dad...
 **Joko:**Right, that’s what I said.
 **Dinda:**Though you were with us for only a short time, Mr. Beaks, you taught us so much about love, hope, and compassion.
We are so thankful that you came into our lives, and we’re better people for having met you.
We wish you a speedy flight in whatever adventures await you next.
 **Archie:**I...
I almost passed you by, Mr. Beaks. I didn’t see you laying there on the ground. But then I heard you chirp. Calling for help.
You were so small when I found you; you fit into the palm of my hand. I knew right away your wing was broken—
I didn’t need my Junior’s Guide to Woodland Creatures to tell me that. I knew I had to help you.
I tried, Mr. Beaks. I…I did everything I knew how to do. I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.
But I know I did my best. I know I made your final days warm and safe. I’m glad I met you, and I’m glad I was able to help you as best I could.
I’ll never forget you.
