Ծտիկը (The Bird)

Written by Hovhannes Tumanian, narrated by Linda Kandilian and sound design by Avedis Ohanian. While playing, the bird lands on a wooden branch and injures her foot. An elderly bystander offers to remove it from her foot in return for keeping it. The bird free of the wood happily flies away. Towards the end of the day, she returns with regret and asks for her wood back which no longer exists...what will she do next?
