30 Nest And Hair
30 鸟窝与头发
My niece, a kindergarten teacher, was suffering from food-poisoning. After she got a little better, she went to kindergarten in a peach scarf.
我的侄女是一位幼儿园老师，她食物中毒了。刚感觉好一点就披了条桃红色的围巾到幼儿园了。
One of her pupils said to her, “Ma’am, when I dumped the litter, I found a bird built its nest in the maple outside the classroom.”
一个学生告诉她说：“老师，在我出去倒垃圾的时候，我看到一只鸟儿在教室外的枫树上垒了个窝。”

“What kind of bird?” my niece asked.
“是什么鸟儿？”我侄女问她。
“I didn’t see the bird, ma’am, only the nest.” replied the child.
“我没看到鸟儿，老师，只看到鸟窝。”那孩子回答说。
“Then, can you give us a description of the nest?” My niece encouraged her.
“那么，你能给我描述一下这个鸟窝吗？”我侄女鼓励她道。
“Well, ma’am, it just resembles your matted hair,” the child burst out.
“哦，老师，就像你纠缠在一起的头发一样。”孩子脱口而出。
