It was a beautiful spring morning. There were no clouds in the sky, and the sun was warm but not hot. Mr Black saw an old man at the bus stop with a big, strong, black umbrella (伞) in his hand. Mr Black said to him, “Do you think we are going to have rain today?” “No,” said the old man, “I don't think so.” “Then are you carrying the umbrella because the sun is too hot?” “No, the sun is not very hot in spring.”
Mr Black looked at the big umbrella again, and the man said, “I am an old man, and my legs are not very strong. I must have a walking-stick (手杖). But people will say, ‘Look! That man is so old.', and I don't like that. When I carry an umbrella in fine weather, people only say, ‘Look at that stupid (愚蠢的) man.”

If we find a bird nest, we will have a good place of observing(观察) and knowing about birds.
Birds sit on eggs and take care of their baby birds from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, mothers often leave and come back to the nest during the time to look for food. So it is good to observe birds. When we observe birds, we’d better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it’s better for you to use binoculars(双筒望远镜).
But how to make a bird nest? It’s very easy. If you want to make one, please follow these:
Making a nest: A good nest must be very fine, strong, thick and easy.
a) Each nest must have six boards. Don’t make the boards too slippery.
b) Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door. The “door” is from 3cm to 5cm. So the bird can fly in or out easily.
c) Make sure the rainwater doesn’t go into the nest.
d) One piece of the boards should be easy to open.
e) Please don’t forget to color the nest.
