One day, the emperor heard about this little bird’s beautiful voice. He asked his guards
to bring her to him. As soon as the emperor heard the nightingale’s voice, he said,“Put her
in a golden cage, so she can stay and sing for me whenever I want to hear her.”
The little bird was so unhappy about being kept in the cage that she stopped singing one day.
The emperor was very angry. He ordered the scientists in his palace to make a robot bird for him.
The bird could sing very beautifully, too. The emperor was pleased.
Soon the robot bird became old. It no longer sang beautiful songs. Just at that time, the

each day.
