30 Nest And Hair
30 鸟窝与头发
My niece, a kindergarten teacher, was suffering from food-poisoning. After she got a little better, she went to kindergarten in a peach scarf.
我的侄女是一位幼儿园老师,她食物中毒了。刚感觉好一点就披了条桃红色的围巾到幼儿园了。
One of her pupils said to her, “Ma’am, when I dumped the litter, I found a bird built its nest in the maple outside the classroom.”
一个学生告诉她说:“老师,在我出去倒垃圾的时候,我看到一只鸟儿在教室外的枫树上垒了个窝。”
“What kind of bird?” my niece asked.
“是什么鸟儿?”我侄女问她。
“I didn’t see the bird, ma’am, only the nest.” replied the child.
“我没看到鸟儿,老师,只看到鸟窝。”那孩子回答说。
“Then, can you give us a description of the nest?” My niece encouraged her.
“那么,你能给我描述一下这个鸟窝吗?”我侄女鼓励她道。
“Well, ma’am, it just resembles your matted hair,” the child burst out.
“哦,老师,就像你纠缠在一起的头发一样。”孩子脱口而出。
