Story
五色鳥聽到有水果跟餅乾馬上就不生氣了。牠變回有禮貌的五色鳥大聲地跟我道謝說:「你有什麼我就吃什麼,謝謝你!」五色鸟听到有水果跟饼干马上就不生气了。它变回有礼貌的五色鸟大声地跟我道谢说:“你有什么我就吃什么,谢谢你!”
我在廚房想了一會兒,最後決定拿蘋果和我愛吃的小餅乾。回到房間後我把食物放在窗前,看著五色鳥高興地吃著。我在厨房想了一会儿,最后决定拿苹果和我爱吃的小饼干。回到房间后我把食物放在窗前,看着五色鸟高兴地吃着。
五色鳥吃得很快,十分鐘就全部吃完了。五色鸟吃得很快,十分钟就全部吃完了。
這時候五色鳥跳到了我的頭上說:「我吃飽了!現在有力氣了!為了謝謝你我決定帶你去旅行。」說完,五色鳥就把我的頭拔起來,帶著我的頭飛走了。这时候五色鸟跳到了我的头上说:“我吃饱了!现在有力气了!为了谢谢你我决定带你去旅行。”说完,五色鸟就把我的头拔起来,带着我的头飞走了。
English Translation
Hearing that there were fruits and crackers, the Taiwan barbet immediately stopped being angry. It turned back into the polite bird it was, thanked me loudly, and said, “I'll eat whatever you have. Thank you!”
I thought about it for a moment in the kitchen and finally decided to get an apple and some of my favorite crackers. After returning to my room, I placed the food by the window and watched the bird eat happily.
The bird ate very quickly, finishing everything in ten minutes.
At that moment, the bird hopped onto my head and said, “I'm full now! Now I have strength! To thank you, I've decided to take you on a trip.” With that, the Taiwan barbet plucked my head right off and flew away with it.
