Guetting a Job
①One day shortly after I had come from school, my father was outside doing yard work.
一天，我剛從學校回到家裡，父親正在院子里做活。
②He found a baby bird under a tree and guessed it had fallen from its nest. He wanted to retrun the little bird to his home.
父親發現樹下有一隻雛鳥，猜想可能是窩裡掉下來的，他想把這小鳥送回窩裡去。
③My dad went to get a ladder and when he got back, he found another baby bird on the ground.
父親便去搬梯子，可是梯子搬來時，他發現地上又多了一隻雛鳥。
④Suddenly he heard a lound chirping（唧唧叫聲）from above. Looking up, my father saw the mother bird giuing a third baby the boot from his nest.
突然父親聽到樹上有大聲的唧唧聲。父親抬起頭一看，看見母鳥正在把第三隻雛鳥往巢外踢。

看到這些，父親走進屋，看了一眼正在看電視的我，大聲喊叫：“找個工作去！”
