Nest and Hair | 鸟窝与头发

English Original

My sister, a primary school teacher, was informed by one of her pupils that a bird had built its nest in the tree outside the classroom.

"What kind of bird?" my sister asked.

"I didn't see the bird, ma'am, only the nest," replied the child.

"Then, can you give us a description of the nest?" my sister encouraged her.

"Well, ma'am, it just resembles your hair."


中文翻译

我的姐姐是一位小学老师。一次,她的一个学生告诉她,有只鸟儿在教室外的树上筑了个窝。

“是什么鸟呢?”我姐姐问道。

“我没看到鸟儿,老师,只看到鸟窝。”孩子回答说。

“那么,你能给我们描述一下这个鸟窝吗?”我姐姐鼓励她道。

“哦,老师,它就像您的头发一样。”
