In the early morning, the crisp and pleasant bird songs woke Sun Gang up from his sleep.

Get up, push open the door of the house, follow the sound of birds singing, and a few swallows stand up on the wires above the orchard, swaying, like several beautiful men and women walking on tightropes.

The swallow's wings are pointed, like a pair of sharp scissors, crossing at the tail, and they are always slitting when rising and falling. It seems to be cutting off colorful clouds to spread the warmth of the world, and it seems to be cutting off the grains and harvesting thousands of households.

Suddenly, the two swallows jumped like a pair of fairies flying away from the wires, heading straight to the sky, and swinging leisurely in the wind. Their bodies slanted and looked like wings flying up and down in the air, stretching freely under the blue sky and white clouds.

Sun Gang kept chasing the trajectory of the swallows. He saw the two swallows circling in front of and behind the house, flying slowly over the pond, like the Lingbo Wang Zun, Angel, and spiritual claws gently swept across the water surface, creating ripples, as if depicting wonderful scrolls.

The pair of swallows that returned gracefully landed straight on the eaves. Sun Gang looked up and his eyes lit up and there was a surprise.

It turned out that under the eaves connected to the roof and gables, there was a new bowl-shaped bird's nest built. Sun Gang suddenly realized that the swallows came here to build a warm nest and raise children.

Swallows are really skilled craftsmen. The small houses they arrange are not only exquisite and beautiful, but also durable. The nests are built by them with their mouths, which are made up of mud and grass stems and mixed with saliva. Swallows use their hardworking and clever mouths to carry some fine grass, leaves, some soft feathers, rags, etc. in their nests.

Swallows build nests and there are many happy events.

"Little swallows, wearing flowery clothes, come here every spring..." Sun Gang grew up with this childhood song.

The ancients said: Orioles sing and swallows chant to celebrate the New Year. People always like to connect swallows with spring.

The ancients said: The flowers fall helplessly, and the swallows return like familiarity. When people see swallows building nests under their own eaves, they always like to think it is auspicious and blessed thing.

The curious Sun Gang had to go up the roof to see what happened. He said it was a sudden moment, and he moved the ladder and just stopped on the gable on the side of the house, climbing up, squirt, squirt, squirt.

Sun Gang's expression instantly turned into a bright smile. It turned out that there were four little swallows waiting to be fed. The little swallow's skin was thin and pink, like fresh and delicate flowers. Their voices chirped, like soft intestines and tender whispered.

Sun Gang was about to go down the ladder, but the swallows who returned home saw someone making trouble at their house, how could they tolerate it? The screams were louder and louder than the waves, and they were completely gone from the past to the gentleness of their past. Some were angry and embarrassed. It was not until Sun Gang quickly evacuated that their emotions calmed down and their screams were no longer frightened and their screams were no longer frightened and their resentment.

The parents of the little swallows work hard every day to feed the little swallows. Every time the swallow's father or mother catches insects to feed the children, the young swallows are like hungry babies, stretching their necks out of the nest, and are eager to eat with their mouths.

Whenever this happens, Mother Yan always pecks the heads of the young swallows with her mouth, as if comforting them, don’t be anxious and wait obediently. Mom will go and peck you again. You are all good kids." As Mother Yan said that, she flapped her wings and flew away without taking a moment of rest.

In this situation, Sun Gang remembered that when Bai Juyi described the mother swallow raising the chicks, "Thirty days of hard work, the mother's young are getting fatter. She murmured and taught words, brushing her sweater one by one." The deep love and love all make people praise and thank the greatness and selflessness of the mother.

The young swallows grew up day by day under the care and care of their parents, gradually growing tender wings, and their singing became clearer and louder. The two old swallows saw it and were happy in their hearts.

The old swallow loves the young swallows but does not spoil them. Every day, they take the young swallows to fly regardless of wind and rain. Everything is difficult at the beginning. At the beginning, the young swallows are timid and afraid. When they fly their wings twice, they fall on the eaves and wires. The old swallow leads the way and practices repeatedly for the children, patiently staying with the young swallows, giving them courage, encouragement, self-confidence, and self-improvement.

Let them try to fly at low altitude first, and gradually move forward. The swallows gradually learn to be strong, develop hard wings, and be able to soar in the air alone without their parents. Sun Gang stares at their light dancing in the blue sky, and their agile and handsome figures, and can't help but admire the magical power of nature.

Sun Gang suddenly had a whim. How wonderful it would be if a person had wings flying like a swallow. In that case, he could cross the mountains, pass through the jungle like an angel in a fairy tale, and finally fly to a place he yearns for.

Most of the people you see in rural areas usually belong to the family swallows. According to records, the family swallows are small in size, with metallic black on the upper body, chestnut on the head, white or light pink on the abdomen, low flying and small sounds. They mostly use residents' indoor beams and corners to build nests, and they like to be close to humans.

I heard that swallows are still meteorological observation posts, which are very sensitive to climate change. Flying very low is a reminder of rain coming, and flying high is a reminder of sunshine.

Swallows are also natural enemies of pests. Their natural insect-eating and insect-catching feet are very unique in length, with short and wide cracks. They are the mouth shape of typical insect-eating birds, with short feet and strong claws. It is said that a swallow needs to prey on more than 800,000 insects a year. They are human-friendly birds, and are humans, so rural people have always protected it and will not harm it at will.

Speaking of protecting swallows, Sun Gang recalled several "bad" things he did when he was a child. It was really unforgivable and he deserved to die for his sins.

When he was a child, Sun Gang did not live in good living conditions like his current children, with many toys and he could have them if he wanted to play with them.

At that time, they didn’t have toys, they were all self-reliant and had fun.

During the summer vacation, the children did not have the habit of taking lunch breaks, so they struggled to go to the nearby woods to play.

The huge forest in my memory covers the sky and is quiet and cool. The ground has not seen sunshine for many days and is full of moss. Now the forest has long turned into a fertile land.

Friends like that forest. Not only do you go there to escape the summer heat, but more importantly, you have unexpected harvests. Because there are many species of birds in that forest, including sparrows, swallows, woodpeckers, cuckoos, orioles, etc.

Every time Sun Gang and his friends go there, they will bring homemade slingshots to shoot birds. They often climb up the branches to pick up bird eggs and destroy bird nests.

The birds that were brought in were set on the branches and burned them with fire. Soon, they heard the crackling sound of dry firewood and the squeaking barbecue. The children were already salivating when they looked at the burnt yellow bird meat and smelled the rising fragrance.

After the meat is roasted, they are all self-righteous. This time you eat your legs, he eats wings, and when he eats his legs next time, you eat wings. While enjoying the "victory fruit", use the grilled meat to bury the bird eggs tightly. It takes about ten minutes to make the bird eggs ripe. If you peel off the egg skin, you can taste the delicious and fresh bird eggs.

Occasionally, the bird eggs are too stuffy, half-cooked and yellow egg juice flows. But I heard that eating such bird eggs is the most nutritious. At that time, Sun Gang, as a child, was still rushing to eat them. Now, I think about it, I feel nauseous and vomiting.

After many years, it is really hateful and ridiculous to think of the childhood embarrassing things I have done.

I still remember doing a "bad thing". A reckless swallow accidentally flew into the room from an open window. It hit the roof of the house and hit the walls left and right, screaming and revolving, and never found the exit.

Seeing this scene, Sun Gang became wise and quickly called his brother to be an accomplice, closed the window doors and strictly checked the gates. The swallow that rushed around no longer had the strength in the dark room and collapsed on the window frame, allowing you to fiddle with it. It had completely lost its ability to resist, and only stared at you, the natural enemy with desperate eyes.

Sun Gang, who was naughty when he was a child, had already thrown away the teacher's love for life and the pure teachings of nature creatures. He tied the claws he caught with a thin rope and tied them to the legs of the table in the main hall to prevent it from recovering its strength and flying away again.

This swallow became a toy in Sun Gang and his friends' hands. They were fed water every day and treated it well.

At first, it was fine, Sun Gang and his friends often went to the fields to catch some insects for it, and when it was calm, it occasionally hummed a few times. But in less than a few days, the little swallow did not eat or drink, and crawled there in a slight cry of silence.

So far, Sun seemed to understand that it should be its call from the bottom of his heart, calling its parents, calling its good friends, calling it.

He lacked thinking in childhood and ignored an important factor. Swallows are the elf of nature and have their unique living habits. They should let them fly and return to nature. Swallows leave their warm home and harmonious living atmosphere in groups. Can they be free and happy?

A few days later, the swallow was depressed until death in helplessness. At that time, Sun Gang was unreasonable. Because of the death of the swallow, he quarreled with his partners, suspected that they had fed too much and kept the swallow to death. The partners were not showing any weakness. When the swallow died, his belly was rising, as if he had put in a small balloon. They said that Sun Gang was angry. When he was a child, he liked to make some childish and illogical reasoning.

Swallows, they grow in nature and eventually belong to nature. They are the guardians of protecting flowers, plants, trees, and crops, the natural enemies of pests, the new force on which humans rely for survival, and the bird of hope in people's hearts.

In the early morning, people started a day's work with the swallows' melodious singing. At night, people fell asleep warmly in the swallows' whispers.

In fact, not only swallows, but also many birds. They all have living life like humans. They make great contributions. Humans should not maliciously stifle their spirituality, nor should they maliciously limit their freedom. Only the harmony between man and nature can the true harmony of the entire world be built.

Sun Gang felt extremely ashamed when he remembered the confused things he had done in his childhood. Now he has learned to treat the creatures in nature well.
