Bonnee Hoy was a gifted composer who died in the prime of her life. At her memorial service, a friend said that there was a mockingbird that used to sing regularly outside Bonnee's bedroom window on Summer nights ... Bonnee would stand at the window, peering into the darkness, listening intently and marvelling at the beautiful songs the mockingbird sang. Then, being a musician, Bonnee decided to respond musically. So she whistled the first four notes of "Beethoven's Fifth Symphony." With amazing quickness, the mockingbird learned those four notes and sang them back to Bonnee. Then, for a time, the bird disappeared. But one night, toward the end of her life, when Bonnee was very sick, the bird returned and, in the midst of its serenade, several times sang the first four notes of Beethoven's Fifth. Then the friend said, "Think of that now! Somewhere out there in this big wide world there is a mockingbird who sings Beethoven because of Bonnee."
