Feathered Friend by Arthur C. Clarke is a science fiction short story about a small canary and how her existence on the space station helped save lives

Explanation:

Characters:

Sven Olsen - At first thought as a Six foot Six inch Nordic construction worker in space BUT really a "wiry little fellow"

Claribel - "Small yellow canary"

Narrator - A worker on the space station

Jock Duncan - The cook, doctor and dietitian on the space station

The narrator says that he is unaware of a regulation that prevents pets from being on a space station and that Sven would ignore it anyway

Sven was the best space construction worker on the space station at the time and was a "wiry little fellow" which got him a bonus for being under 150 pounds

Unlike his Earth bound counterpart, Sven could step back and look at his work without fear of falling off the building

Sven was smart to have Claribel as a pet because it took close to nothing to support her

The author found Claribel after hitting his head on an "angle beam", he saw Claribel for the first time although he had been hearing her

Claribel, the canary, found out how to make her way in zero gravity and was efficient at it

Sven did not own up to her being his pet at first but did bring her up from a ferry from Earth after leave

Sven then said that he had brought her from Earth as a science experiment

They didn't have any trouble hiding her from VIPs from Earth as they always had explanation for the noises that she made even when Claribel was "upset"

The narrator woke up one day with a headache and was slow to do morning activities

Sven was missing from breakfast because he was looking for Claribel

Claribel was found in a stunned state and Jock Duncan could not hear a heartbeat

Someone said to give her some oxygen from an oxygen face mask which served as an oxygen tent for Claribel

The oxygen revived Claribel and she called everyone to breakfast but passed out again

The narrator notices that Claribel was passing out because of the air being bad; an air purifer had frozen and the single, 500 thousand dollar alarm "failed to go off"

Claribel had saved everyone's lives

The narrator says if one is ever on a space station to not be "surprised" or "alarmed" if there was birdsong recognized for the bird is only there as a cheap backup alarm system

dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by james joyce, published in 1914. they tell the stories of the irish middle class in and around dublin in the early years of the 20th century.

joyce divides the collection into three sections dealing with childhood, adolescence and maturity. therefore, one pattern he uses to organize his stories is the age of the protagonists. the initial stories deal with children, and as the stories continue, they focus on progressively older people.
