English Translation

Seeing it fly off me, I sat up from the bed as well: “Because I have to work, of course!”

“Then quit your job!”

I immediately refused, saying, “No way! I’d be so worried and scared if I did that. Everyone says people should have a stable job!”

“Why is it ‘everyone says’ again!” The Taiwan barbet got angry, its feathers fluffing up with rage.

Seeing it so angry, I found it a little funny. I stood up, walked toward the kitchen, and said, “Don’t be mad, Taiwan barbet! I’ll go get you some fruit and crackers. Is there anything in particular you’d like to eat?”
