English Original
In order to avoid calamities, the kingfisher initially selects a high place to build its nest.
Once the young birds hatch, it moves the nest to a slightly lower location. This is because the kingfisher is particularly fond of its offspring and fears they might fall from a great height.
When the fledglings grow beautiful feathers, the kingfisher becomes even fonder and more protective. Consequently, it moves the nest further downward, which results in the young birds being easily captured by people.

起初,为了躲避灾祸,翠鸟总是选择在高处筑巢。
等到孵出小鸟以后,它便将巢穴迁到稍低一点的地方。这是因为翠鸟特别爱护它的幼鸟,生怕它们从高处摔下来。
当幼鸟长出美丽的羽毛后,翠鸟对它们更加喜爱和保护,于是又将巢穴向下迁移。结果,小翠鸟反而被人们轻而易举地掏走了。
