翠鸟迁巢
In order to avoid calamities, at first the kingfisher always selects a high place to build its nest.
But when the young birds are hatched, it will move to a place a little lower to build its nest. This is because the kingfisher is particularly fond of its offspring and is afraid they will fall down from a high place. When the young birds grow beautiful feathers, the kingfisher will become even fonder of them and more protective, so it will move its nest further downward, with the result that the young birds are easily taken away by people.
起先，为了避免灾祸，翠鸟总是选择高的地方筑巢。但是，等孵出小鸟以后，它就到稍微低一点儿的地方筑巢。这是因为它特别爱护小鸟，生怕它们从高处摔下来。等到小鸟长出美丽的羽毛后，母鸟就更加喜欢和爱护它们了，于是又向下搬巢。结果，小翠鸟却轻而易举地被人们掏走了。
