While he was at work in the grove，the birds came clos to pick up the worms（蠕虫） in  the fresh earth he dug up．At first，they kept their distance from him，but they soon found he was a kind man，and would not hurt them，but liked to have them near him．
They knew this by his kind eyes and voice，which tell what is in the heart．So，day by day their faith in his love grew in them．
All the birds of the grove were soon his fast friends．They were on the watch for him，and would fly down from the green tree tops to greet him with their chirp（叽叽喳喳叫）．
When he had no work to do，he took bread with him，and dropped the pieces on the ground．Down they would dart（俯冲） on his head and feet to catch them as they fell from his hand．
He showed me how they loved him，He put a piece of bread in his mouth，with one end of it out of his lips，Down they came like bees at a flower，and flew off with it piece by piece，
When they thought he slept too long in the morning，they would fly in andcall him up with their chirp．
