Then one day, fate heard Cora’s call,

A child bumped the clock, causing it to fall.

He hurriedly placed it back upon the wall,

But Cora’s latch was broken—not bound at all.

Not held in place, she could take to the air,

But fear held her down—should she dare?

For days she stayed put, her courage unsure,

“Do I leap to freedom or stay secure?”

Then she saw the window open wide,

Sunlight streamed in from the world outside.

Her friends tried to stop her, fears held them tight,

Cora said bravely, "I will take this flight!"
