Mother bird is busy,

Flying from tree to tree,

Trying to find the right one,

To raise (养育) her family.

Should it be a maple, ormaybe a pine?

Whichever it is, it will bejust fine.

She finds one stick andanother,

And hurries back to put themtogether.

She sits on her eggs to keepthem warm,

And hopes they don't fallduring the storm.

The nest is strong and holdsthem well.

The babies suddenly come outfrom their shells (壳) .

Mother bird is happy and asproud as it can be.

Now she is looking for foodyou see.

She feeds her babies most ofthe day.

They eat and eat but have notime to play.

It's time to learn to flyfrom the nest.

Mother bird doesn't get muchrest.

The babies are so eager (渴望的) to fly,

But sad to tell their mother,goodbye.
