　　Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet shop. It was a beautiful red and blue bird. It sat on a perch in the middle of the shop, so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it. One day a man went into the shop. “That's a beautiful bird，” he said to the pet shop owner. “But why is it so expensive? Is it an unusual bird？”

“No, it's not very unusual. It's expensive because it can talk，” the pet shop owner said.

“I see. How can I make it talk？” the man asked.

The pet shop owner asked him, “Do you see those strings tied to both of the bird's legs？”

“Yes，” the man answered.

“Well, you pull those strings，” the pet shop owner told him. “That will make the parrot talk.”

The man asked, “Do you mind if I try？”

“Not at all，” the pet shop owner said.

The man walked up to the parrot and pulled the string on its left leg. The parrot said, “Good morning.”

The man pulled the string on the parrot's right leg. This time the parrot said, “How are you today？”

“That's not very interesting，” said the man. “Any parrot could do that.” Then he laughed, “But what would happen if I pulled both strings at the same time？”

“I'll fall off my perch, you fool！” the parrot said.

　　It was a great pleasure for the family to move to a house with a very big garden. Betty and Tony could climb up trees, grow flowers and even play badminton. They liked to watch the birds flying among the trees in the garden. They even started to put food out to attract more birds.

Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise on a window. Betty went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass. Its neck seemed to be broken.

“It must have flown into the window，” Tony said when his sister Betty called him to have a look. “Ah, yes. Look here. You can see the mark where it hit the window. There are a couple of tiny feathers stuck on the window.” “Poor thing！” Betty said.

During the next month, five more birds died in the same way. “Why would they fly to the windows？” they wondered. Finally they knew the truth. When the birds were flying, they couldn't see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection(倒影) of the garden. They thought that they were flying into trees because they saw trees reflected by the window.

“Something has to be done to save the birds，” the parents decided.

At first, the family tried keeping curtains(窗帘) across the windows, but this made the room dark. Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shape of a hawk. They made six hawks—one for each window. They stuck the hawks on the windows. They looked pretty and did not keep out much light. When the birds saw the hawks, they would fly away.

After that, there were no more dead birds. The family were much happier.
