LESSON 24 THE PET BIRD

第二十四課 寵物鳥

Jane had a bird that she kept in a cage.

簡有一只養(yǎng)在籠子里的鳥。

It was so tame that it would come to be fed from her hand.

它如此的馴良，以至于會來到她的手上吃食。

Now and then she would let it out; and it would sit on the top of the cage or fly round the room.

偶爾她會把它放出籠子，它就會站在籠子的頂部，或在屋子里飛來飛去。

As she liked best to feed it, no one else fed the bird but her.

因為她最喜歡喂鳥，除了她沒有別人喂過這只鳥。

One day her aunt sent her a box of new toys. She was so pleased with them, that she played all day with them. That day Jane did not feed her bird.

有一天她的阿姨寄給她一個裝著玩具的盒子。她如此地喜愛那些玩具，以至于整天都在拿著它們玩。那一天簡沒有喂她的鳥吃東西。

Next day a friend came to see Jane, and once more the poor bird got no food.

第二天一位朋友來看簡，于是又一次，這只可憐的鳥兒沒有食物可吃。

Jane and her friend played all day with the box of toys.

簡和她的朋友一整天都在玩盒子里的那些玩具。

On the third day Jane did not care so much for the toys, and she went once more to play with her bird.

第三天，簡不那么喜歡玩玩具了，于是就又來陪鳥兒玩。

She went up to the cage with some nice seed to give to it.

她走到籠子旁邊，將尚好的種子喂給它吃。

But the poor bird lay dead in the cage. It had died for want of food.

但是可憐的小鳥躺在籠子里已經(jīng)死了。它死在對于食物的渴望之中。

Oh, what pain it must have felt!

哦，那該是多么痛苦的感受??！

Boys and girls, keep this sad tale in your minds, and be kind to your pets.

孩子們，請記住這個傷感的故事，善待你的寵物吧。
