The narrator tells us that he's a caring person, but that he needs the help of Mr. Zhuo to help him capture the thunder-skylark. He's sure that the bird is pitiful, but he doesn't want to go to the trouble of capturing the bird himself. Instead, he suggests that the two of them hide themselves in a cave and wait for the lion and the eagle to catch up with them.
