The Bird in the Dunghill | 粪堆里的小鸟

点击查看中英对照

A little bird flew south for the winter. The weather was bitterly cold, and the bird was almost frozen. Seeking warmth, it landed in a large field. Soon after, a cow passed by and dropped a pile of dung on the bird. The frozen bird, now lying in the warm dunghill, gradually thawed and recovered. Feeling warm and comfortable, it soon began to sing happily.

A passing wildcat heard the singing. Following the sound, it quickly discovered the bird in the dunghill, pulled it out, and ate it.
