鸟儿的朋友

Bird Friends

印度思想家甘地曾这样评价动物:这些古老的地球居民,生存历史超过人类。它们是人类的朋友,是地球和谐生态的一部分。它们和我们一样,能感受快乐和痛苦,有基本的生存权利和生命尊严。善待它们,也是善待我们自己。《鸟儿的朋友》讲述独居森林的老人如何与鸟儿们相依相伴、成为挚友的故事。起初,鸟儿们不敢靠近老人;慢慢地,鸟儿们认识到老人的和蔼善良;最后,老人为小鸟喂食,小鸟为老人歌唱,这是人与自然和谐鸣奏的温馨诗篇。

I once knew a man who was rich in his love for birds,and in their love for him.He lived in the midst1 of a grove2 full of all kinds of trees.He had no wife or children in his home.He was an old man with a gray beard,blue and kind eyes,and a voice that the birds loved,and this was the way he made them his friends.
