The Little Blue Bird 小藍鳥皮普

📖 故事 Story

Once upon a time, in a colorful forest, there lived a little blue bird named Pip. Pip was very proud of his bright blue feathers. He thought he was the prettiest bird in the whole forest. One day, Pip saw a big, brown owl sitting on a branch. “Look at me!” Pip chirped loudly. “I am so much prettier than you!” The owl just hooted softly and blinked its big, wise eyes. Pip flew from tree to tree, showing off his blue feathers to all the other birds. But no one seemed as impressed as he hoped. The red robin said, “Your feathers are pretty, Pip, but mine are good for keeping warm in the winter.” The green parrot said, “My feathers help me blend in with the leaves.” Pip felt sad. He realized that being different wasn’t a bad thing. Everyone had something special about them. From then on, Pip was kind to all the birds in the forest. He learned that it was important to respect everyone, no matter how different they were.

從前從前，在一個色彩繽紛的森林裡，住著一隻名叫皮普的小藍鳥。皮普非常驕傲自己的亮藍色羽毛，他認為自己是整座森林裡最漂亮的小鳥。 有一天，皮普看到一隻大大的棕色貓頭鷹坐在樹枝上。「看我！」皮普大聲地叫著。「我比你漂亮多了！」貓頭鷹只是輕輕地呼了一聲，眨了眨它那又大又聰明的眼睛。 皮普從一棵樹飛到另一棵樹，向所有其他的鳥類展示他的藍色羽毛。但似乎沒有人像他希望的那樣留下深刻的印象。紅知更鳥說：「皮普，你的羽毛很漂亮，但我的羽毛在冬天能夠保暖。」綠鸚鵡說：「我的羽毛能幫助我融入樹葉中。」 皮普感到難過。他意識到與眾不同並不是一件壞事。每個人都有自己的特別之處。從那以後，皮普對森林裡的所有鳥類都展現親切。他學會了尊重每個人是很重要的，無論他們有多麼不同。
