"Los sinsontes no hacen otra cosa que hacer música para que la disfrutemos. No se comen los jardines de la gente, no anidan en los graneros de maíz, no hacen otra cosa que cantar con todo su corazón para nosotros. Por eso es un pecado matar a un sinsonte."
— Harper Lee

Simplified Meaning:
Mockingbirds are harmless birds that only bring joy through their songs. They don't harm crops or bother people in any way. Their sole purpose is to sing, making the world a nicer place. This is why it's considered wrong to harm or kill them. To understand this better, think about a person who is kind and only tries to help others. If someone were to hurt this kind person, it would be unfair and unjust. The lesson here is to recognize and appreciate innocence and goodness in the world. We should protect and cherish those who do no harm and bring positivity into our lives. By doing so, we make sure that kindness and beauty continue to thrive.
