. . . Well, the sake is a given. It should have survival too, right?

Of course.

Definitely yes with both of those. Possibly fear, too. You'll survive better if you know to be afraid.

And contentment, like Edmund said! You need to know when you're surviving okay, too!

What if it's too much fear? . . . Can we write on the blank paper?

Good point. ...As for the paper, that's what it's there for, right? Does anyone have a pen or pencil?

Looks like we can. [holds up the pen]

What does everyone think of giving it "wisdom" instead of "fear"?

Yeah, make our bird smarter than us.

What Lloyd said.

That's a great idea...

Works for me.

Great! So . . . sake, wisdom, survival, contentment, and the bones? That leaves five things that we think it wants . . .

Why wouldn't it want those?

...except it probably a dead animal that isn't bones. To eat.

Maybe it ate the bones thing too fast.

We could just say that it wants everything we gave it.

Five things we give them, five things it wants.

. . . It probably does want the sake more than it needs it.

It definitely wants to survive. So it wants survival, sake, contentment... it probably wants wisdom too so it can keep surviving.

And it wants a meal. That makes sense.

If we say it wants everything from the box then we have to give it even more from the box, but a lot of the stuff in there is stupid.

Survival, contentment, and wisdom are things everyone needs. We can keep those on the list of things we gave it. Anything it wants can come from the box or anywhere else, so we shouldn't limit ourselves by only picking from the box for that. Like . . . maybe it wants my necklace since it's pretty. Or Clue's brownies to relax with.
