One day on a December the doctor informs him that his emphysema is so critical as not to srurvive through the hard winter of Chicago. The doctor advise him to remove the moderate climate region. He says, "even with you going better climate, the most optimistic prognosis I can give you is a year ... or maybe two."
So he leaves Chicago for a town of Lost River, Alabama.
He is wellcomed by a good people in the town and a redbird which can not fly owing to the old damage of wings and which is always walking in a drugstore all day long.
He can have a wonderful Christmas at there and he survives through the winter.
He finds a hobby to paint the birds and flowers.
One day a creol young girl, Pasty, who has a heavy handicap on her legs appears to become a best friend of the redbird Jack. In a few weeks, she becomes a good friend with Osward and other people who live around the store. She is an orphan like as Osward was. Her handicap began since her birth day. The doctor says, "She feels very bad pain every time when she moves or walks. " Nobody has heard she complained about the pain.
The oprations need more than two thousand dollars. For the people it is too much money. But the people can manage to make it. Osward go to a picture dealer with his twenty seven drawings. The dealer says, "I will pay 250 dollars." Osward thinks that the sum is not much but it is better than nothing. But when he see the check, he gets shocked. The 250 dollars is for a piece. He earns more than sity seven hundred.
Before the day Pasty goes to the hospital, Jack dies. People astonishe too much and hide the death of the redbird from her. After the succeeded operations and in the way of rehabilitation, near the second Christmas for Osward in the Lost River, Pasty comes back to be told the redbird have flown back to the sky with their friend bird. Pasty gets dissapointed to effect her rehabilitation. She writes to Santa Clause that Jack would visit her on the Christmas with his family. This problem is too difficut for the people and for Osward.
But in the morning of the Christmas day, it snows! And in the white world hundreds of redbirds fly around. One of them lands on the windowsil of Pasty to wink her and fly away.
It is a very very happy fiction. Next time I go to the book store, I would look for another Fannie Flagg's work without fail.
