Question

Why did Princess September put the Nightingale in a cage? What reasons did she give to the bird for putting it in a cage and then keeping it there?

Answer 1

Princess September put the bird in a cage because her sisters advised her that the bird could fly away and would never come back. Actually, they wanted to torment the bird for they were jealous of it. Princess September, on the other hand, was actually worried about the bird. She said to the bird that it should remain in the cage. The cage was golden and made by the best maker. She feared it would leave her and never return and also was worried about its safety.
