A woman keeps a bird and she really likes it. But one day the bird flies away. The woman is sad and goes out

to look for it in the forest near her home. At last, she meets the bird.

The woman says happily, “Will you go home with me, my bird?” The bird is also happy to see the woman,

but it says no.

“Take me to your home and let me see how you live.” the woman says. The bird takes the woman to its new

home. She finds it lives well with many other birds. So she decides to go back home alone. Before she leaves, the

bird gives her a basket.

When she gets home, she tells her husband ( 丈夫 ) what happens. Her husband opens the basket and sees a

lot of gold ( 金子 ). The man is very greedy ( 贪婪的 ) and he goes to the bird’s home, too.

“Hello, my bird. I miss you very much.” cries the man falsely ( 虚伪地 ). In fact, he is not friendly to the bird

when it lives with him. The bird just says nothing. It takes out two baskets, a light one and a heavy one. The bird

asks him to choose one and he can open it after he gets home.

Of course, he chooses the heavy one and takes it home. But when he opens the basket, he finds it is full of

stones ( 石头 )!
