Lesson description

"Feathered Friend," a science fiction short story by Arthur C. Clarke, is about a space-station worker and his coworker's pet canary. The canary is allowed to move freely about the station, hovering and floating instead of using her wings. She quickly becomes a favorite with all the crew members. They keep her hidden from visitors who might think it isn't appropriate to have a bird on a space station. However, the canary helps the narrator avoid a disaster, and changes how the narrator views technology.
