It was early spring. The sun was
strong and warm. I went over the hillside fields behind my village, 36 buntings and linnets, the birds I loved
most.
I turned along a
bush between two fields where I had seen the birds before, but on this fine day
almost the first birds that I saw were winter visitors. I was 37 not
to see a bunting straightaway, but I went on, stopping occasionally to look at the
black-thorn (黑刺李) flowers in the bush, and 38 I did hear a bunting singing. Or was it? Was I not perhaps turning a note of skylark (云雀) song into
that of th
e song I was hoping to hear?
But the bunting’s song was pretty clear, and within a few minutes
I was proved
39 . The song was coming from the bush, and as I
approached 40 I saw the brown bird resting in a small tree.
It opened its mouth, and 41 once more. Then it flew off. It was the only
one I saw that day, but at least I had found one of the birds I had
42 .
It was not until I was on my way back home
that I caught sight of some 43 . I saw five of them gathering
on the ground when I was just coming back beside the
44 where I had found the bunting. As I came nearer,
they flew up, spreading their tails so that their white edges 45 to look like a white fan in the sky. Then,
to my
46 , some big pigeons suddenly came flying and
joined the linnets.
A moment later they had all 47 - but I had fulfilled my hopes
for the day.
