The crow (乌鸦)is an ordinary(普通的) bird. It is about twenty inches(英寸) long and black all over. Crows are dirty birds because they live on old bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way they are more useful to us than any birds. They clean up the dirty things in our streets. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day long, and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back to their nests(窝) in the trees. They sleep there at night.

Crows are much noisier than other birds. Very often a large number of crows will get together on one house and talk. Sometimes they talk together, and sometimes they do it by turns like human beings(人类). It is easy to tell from(区别) crows’ sounds whether they are pleased or angry. Perhaps crows talk a lot because they are friendly birds. A pair of crows will live together all their lives, and if one of them dies, the other one becomes very sad and quiet for the rest of its life and sometimes it dies, too.

Where is Love? How can we find Love?

Once a little boy wants to meet Love. He knows it is a long trip to where Love lives, so he gets his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and starts off. When he passes three streets, he sees an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looks very hungry. The boy gives her a pizza. She takes it and smiles at him. The smile is so beautiful that he wants to see it again, so he gives her a Coke. She smiles once again. The boy is very happy.

They sit there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they say nothing. When it grows dark, the boy wants to leave. But before he goes more than a few steps, he turns around, runs back to the old woman and gives her a hug(拥抱). The woman gives him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opens the door of his house, his mother is surprised by the look of joy(快乐)on his face and asks what makes him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has the most beautiful smile in the world.” At the same time, the old woman’s son is also surprised at his mother’s pleasure(快乐) and asks why.

“I had a pizza in the park with Love,” she says, “and he is much younger than I expected.”

If the world is full of love, we can enjoy a better life.
