It’s almost time for Science Night.

I need a partner who should I ask?

I have three friends who all want to help,

How can I choose just one for the task?

My best friend Jule is fun to be around.

But she’s as chatty as a bird.

When she starts to talk-just watch out!

I can’t get in a single word.

Still, that might work for Science Night;

She’d show our project to the crowd.

Jule’s voice would boom out like a drum

I wouldn’t mind if she were extra loud!

And then there s Dan, who s really shy

But wise as an owl- he’s so smart? He’d

help with the thinking for the job.

He wouldn’t talk, but he’d do his part.

But what about Shel, who s good at art?

He paints and draws and sculpts so well.

Our project would look great no doubt!

I m sure I should be asking Shel.

How can I choose just one from three?

I need them all! l’ m feeling sick.

I’ m as dizzy as a spinning top.

When trying to choose I just can’t pick!

But wait—why not ask them all to help?

A group of four is better than one.

I’d love to work with all my friends.

In such a group, wed have such fun!

The work could be shared by four of us.

Be me and Shel and Dan and Jule.

We’d fit together like puzzle pieces.

And take the grand prize in the school!

A girl was walking in the woods when she found two weak birds. She took them home and put them in a small cage (鸟笼). She took good care of them. The birds grew strong. Every morning, they greeted her with a beautiful song. The girl felt great love for the birds. She wanted them to sing for her forever.

One day, the girl left their cage door open. The bigger of the two birds flew out. The girl watched as he rose high into the sky. She was afraid that he would fly away and she would never see him again. As he flew close, she caught him in her hand and held him tightly. She was happy. Suddenly, she felt the bird go limp (无力的). She opened her hand. The bird was dead! Her love had stolen life from the beautiful songbird.

The other bird was pushing against the bars (条) of the cage. She could see how much he wanted to be free. She took him out of the cage and gently tossed him into the air. Would the bird fly away? She could hardly bear to watch. But the bird just wanted to stretch its wings. He flew around the girl twice and then came to rest on her shoulder.

The girl watched the bird with joy in her heart. She wasn’t worried anymore. She wanted the bird to be happy. The bird sat by the girl’s ear and sang the sweetest song she had ever heard.
