THE CAGE-BIRD AND THE BAT
A Singing—bird was confined in a cage which hung outside a window,and had a way of singing at night when all other birds were asleep.One night a Bat came and clung to the bars of the cage,and asked the Bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night.“I have a very good reason for doing SO,”said the Bird:“it was once when I was singing in the daytime that a fowler was attracted by my voice,and set his nets for me and caught me.Since then I have never sung except by night.”But the Bat replied,“It is no use your doing that now when you are a prisoner:if only you had done SO before you were caught,you might still have been free.”
Precautions are useless arter the event.
从前有一只小鸟,它本该可以在蓝天中自由地飞翔着,但有一天,它被人类捉住,便失去了以往无拘无束的生活。
在那里,人们给它残酷的.训练,将它关进笼子里,还发誓要把它训练成最优秀的鸟。但结果往往是“残酷”的,到头来,这只小鸟依然很笨,每天中午太阳最浓烈的时候,小鸟的眼睛直勾勾地盯着窗外那片“世外桃源”。
人类没有办法,只好把它放生,但出乎意料的是,小鸟放生后,先向天空呐喊了一声,然后飞向充满生机的大自然,它那时大概是一个重获新生的人该有的表现吧。
其实给我们制造“笼子”的人就是我们的父母,我们就是那些可怜的“小鸟”。他们为了让我们以后能有出息,便让我们参加了各种各样的补习班,也不明白我们真正想要的是什么,就比如一只小鸟要在大自然中飞翔,你就应该给它自由,否则它永远长不大,一直不能在沙漠中生存的花朵,你就应该让它移植到温带地区,否则它会在炙热的阳光下逐渐枯萎。
家长们,如果你们不考虑后果,那么我们会在娇生惯养中渐渐从“学霸”变为“学渣”,家长们,请还我们自由!
今天是星期天,我正在家里看电视,突然爸爸在外面喊我说有个好东西给我,我一听就急忙跑了出去,看到爸爸手里捉了一只小鸟。
这只小鸟真漂亮,黄褐色羽毛,光溜溜的,有一条长长的尾巴,叫声也特别好听,我非常高兴,于是给它做了一个小笼子,把它放了进去,只见它在笼子里飞来飞去,有时还把脑袋撞在笼子边上,我想它是不是挺难受的,于是我给它弄了一些大米、小米子给它吃,它还是那样。我又问爸爸,爸爸说小鸟是飞在天上的,不愿呆在笼子里,我又仔细看了看笼子里的小鸟,它还在唧唧喳喳地叫个不停,好象在说请你们放了我吧,我同爸爸商量了一下,决定把它放回天空,当我放它的时候,看见它自由自在的飞翔在空中,我高兴极了,同时我听到它叫了几声,好象是在说谢谢你,我们以后只吃害虫,不吃农民伯伯种的粮食了。
