When people visit Switzerland for the first timethey look with great interestnot only at the mountains but also at a type of clock—a Cuckoo-clockon sale thereCuckoo-clocks are very popular with tourists looking for a souvenirA Cuckoo-clock has a small painted cuckoo that comes out near the top of the clock every half an hour and says“Cuckoo”Every hour it comes out and says “Cuckoo” the right number of timesIt does not get a sore throat at midnight or mid-day! Children find these clocks wonderfulAdults gradually get annoyed because the cuckoo never misses an hour or a half hourand this makes a short sleep in an armchair rather difficult

In Europethe cuckoo's call is a welcome sign that summer is on the wayThis is the time when the mother cuckoo flies roundlooking for a nestto lay one of her eggsShe chooses a nest belonging to another bird which already has eggsWhen the nest is left unnoticed for a minute or twothe cuckoo rushes downlays an egg and hurries offIn this wayshe may lay her eggs in as many as four different nestsnot one of which has been built by herself

When a cuckoo egg hatches(孵化),the baby bird is bigger and stronger than the other nestlingsStep by stepit pushes other baby birds and any unhatched eggs out of the nestIn this wayit receives all the food from its foster-parents养父母and has a better chance of surviving
