汉字 #

小明和丽丽在院子里玩。突然，他们听到一个奇怪的声音。

“那是什么声音？”小明问。 “我不知道，我们去看看吧。”丽丽说。

他们走到一棵大树下，发现了一只小鸟。小鸟的翅膀受伤了，它不能飞。小鸟看起来很害怕，身体在发抖。

“它好可怜啊！我们应该帮助它。”丽丽说。 “是的，但是它受伤了。我们要小心一点。”小明回答。

小明轻轻地用手帕把小鸟包起来。他和丽丽把小鸟带回了家。妈妈给了他们一个小纸箱，里面放了一条软软的毛巾。这就是小鸟临时的“家”。

小明和丽丽每天给小鸟水和一些小米。第二天早上，小鸟开始吃东西了。他们很开心。过了几天，小鸟变得精神多了，它开始在纸箱里跳来跳去。但是，它的翅膀还不能飞。

“你觉得它会想家吗？”丽丽问小明。 “一定会的。等它好了，我们就让它回到天空。”小明说。

又过了一个星期，一个阳光很好的下午，他们打开纸箱。小鸟看了看外面，拍了拍翅膀。它慢慢飞了起来，飞到了院子里的一棵树上。小鸟在树上唱了一首好听的歌，好像在说“谢谢你们”。

然后，小鸟飞向了蓝色的天空。小明和丽丽看着它，心里感到非常高兴和一点难过。院子又安静了，但是他们永远记得那只小鸟。

English Translation #

Xiaoming and Lili were playing in the yard. Suddenly, they heard a strange sound.

“What is that sound?” Xiaoming asked. “I don’t know, let’s go take a look.” Lili said.

They walked under a big tree and found a little bird. The little bird’s wing was injured. It couldn’t fly. The little bird looked very scared, and its body was trembling.

“It’s so pitiful! We should help it.” Lili said. “Yes, but it’s injured. We have to be a little careful.” Xiaoming replied.

Xiaoming gently wrapped the little bird with a handkerchief. He and Lili brought the little bird back home. Their mother gave them a small cardboard box with a soft towel placed inside. This was the little bird’s temporary “home”.

Xiaoming and Lili gave the little bird water and some millet every day. The next morning, the little bird started to eat things. They were very happy. After a few days, the little bird became much more energetic, and it started hopping around in the box. However, its wing still couldn’t fly.

“Do you think it will miss its home?” Lili asked Xiaoming. “It definitely will. Wait until it gets well, and then we’ll let it return to the sky.” Xiaoming said.

After another week, on a sunny afternoon, they opened the box. The little bird looked at the outside world, flapped its wings, and slowly flew up, landing on a tree in the yard. The bird sang a beautiful song on the tree, as if saying “thank you”.

Then, the little bird flew toward the blue sky. Xiaoming and Lili watched it, feeling very happy and a little sad in their hearts. The yard became quiet again, but they will remember that little bird forever.
