Mr. Rutledge told you that birds and animals will come to live with us if we give them a home. 拉特里奇先生告诉你，如果我们给鸟儿和动物一个家，它们就会来和我们一起生活。

He had hardly gone as far as the pump when he heard a soft, gurgling bird voice from the old apple tree in the yard, and a bluebird fluttered 2 down almost to his feet. 他刚走到抽水机旁，就听到院子里那棵老苹果树上传来一种轻柔的、汩汩作响的鸟叫声，一只蓝知更鸟几乎飞到了他的脚上。
In an instant he decided 3 to make a bird house, and he walked off to find his father and talk the matter over with him. 他立刻决定建造一个鸟屋，于是他走开去找他的父亲，并讨论了此事。
