The Sweetest Melody 最動聽的歌

There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving songbirds.She took them home and put them in a small cage.She cared them with love and the birds grew strong.Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song.The girl felt great love for the birds.

One day the girl left the door with the cage open. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.The girl was so frightened that he would fly away.As he flew close, she grasped him wildly.Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him.Suddenly she felt the bird go limp.She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird.Her desperate love had killed him.

She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom.He needed to soar into the clear, blue sky.She lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air.The bird circled once, twice, three times.

The girl watched delightedly at the bird's enjoyment. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss.She wanted the bird to be happy.Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.He sang the sweetest melody that she had ever heard.

從前，有個孤單的女孩十分期待愛。有一天，當(dāng)她在叢林里散步的時候，發(fā)現(xiàn)了兩只餓得奄奄一息的小鳥。女孩把它們帶回了家，并放在一只小籠子里。女孩照料這兩只小鳥，傾注了很多的愛，小鳥一天天好起來。每天清晨，鳥兒們都會用美妙的歌聲問候她。女孩對這兩只鳥兒產(chǎn)生了深深的愛。

一天，小女孩打開了鳥籠。那只較強大的鳥兒便飛了出來。女孩十分擔(dān)心鳥兒會飛走。當(dāng)鳥兒飛回來時，小女孩便緊緊地把它抓在手中。捉到鳥兒后，女孩非常高興。突然，她感覺手中的鳥兒漸漸沒了氣力。她趕緊松開緊握的雙手，并驚恐地看著已死去的鳥兒。女孩不顧一切的愛害死了它。

她注意到另一只鳥兒在籠子的邊緣飛來飛去。女孩深切地體會到它對自由的無限向往——它希望在藍(lán)藍(lán)的天空中自由飛翔。女孩把鳥兒從籠子里拿了出來，并輕輕地拋向空中。鳥兒在空中盤旋著，一圈，兩圈，三圈……

女孩看著鳥兒快樂的樣子也高興極了。她沒有心思去在意失去的東西，只是祝愿鳥兒能夠幸福。突然間，鳥兒飛了回來，輕輕地落在她的肩上。鳥兒唱起了女孩所聽過的最動聽的歌。
