Every summer a little bird came to me. It had a bushy tail and a large beak. She looked like a small ball of fur. I fed her constantly. But one summer, the bird didn't arrive. I was very scared. But then I looked up and saw her making a nest in a tree. I was very happy. Then she had Chicks. I fed them for a while until they grew up and found their own food.
Каждое лето ко мне прилетала маленькая птичка. У нее был пышный хвост, большой клюв. А выглядела она как маленький комок шерсти. Я постоянно ее подкармливал. Но одним летом, птичка не прилетела. Я очень испугался. Но потом посмотрел наверх и увидел как она сплела гнездо на дереве. Я был очень рад. Потом у нее появились птенцы. Я их кормил некоторое время, пока они не выросли и сами не стали находить себе еду.
