世界上有会数数的鸟。它们并不会数像鸟巢、小虫或是树木这样的东西,它们只是会叫数字:一二三四五六七八……一直到三十或四十。有些鸟还可以倒着数,从四十叫到一或○。有一天,有个人在森林里听到鸟数数,吓坏了,因为他向来喜欢平常的事物,害怕这些不寻常的东西。他赶紧跑回村子,大喊:我听到鸟会数数!邻居们都不相信他,他要大家一起到森林里去听,也没人要去。 There are countless birds in the world. They do not count things like nests, bugs or trees, they just call the numbers: one two three four five six seven eight ... until thirty or forty. Some birds can also count down from forty to one or o. One day, a man in the forest heard the number of birds terrified, because he had always liked the ordinary things, afraid of these unusual things. He rushed back to the village and shouted: I heard the number of birds! Neighbors did not trust him. He wanted everyone to go to the forest to listen, no one wants to go.
