The lone budgie, sitting in a cage silently. A social animal, it longs for companionship.
One day, the hairless ape placed a special piece of glass in the cage. It seemed like any piece of glass at first, but this one had another bird on the other side! It didn't speak, but it would dance when the lone budgie danced. The lone budgie was thrilled.
A different day, the hairless ape took the glass away. The lone budgie lost its only friend, even if it was never real.
