The Feather
羽毛
It was a cold and dark night when the sun set in the west.
太阳落山之后，迎来了寒冷而黑暗的夜晚。
All of the chickens in the hen house sat on perches, closed their eyes and got ready to sleep.
所有栖息在鸡舍的鸡都闭着眼睛，准备睡觉。
"Good night!" Everyone fell asleep after saying good night to each other.
"晚安！"每个人都道完晚安之后便睡着了。
However, one hen was sitting up and pecking at her own feathers.
然而，一只母鸡正坐着啄自己的羽毛。
This hen was quite famous for laying eggs everyday.
这只母鸡因为每天下的蛋都很多而出名。
In addition, she sometimes made other chickens laugh with jokes.
此外，她有时会讲笑话逗逗其他的鸡。
As she pecked her feathers, one of her white feathers fell down to the ground suddenly.
正当她梳理自己的羽毛时，一个白色的羽毛突然掉到地上。
"Oh, one has come off! But I don't have to feel sorry for it.
"哦，掉了一只！不必为它感到遗憾。
That means I lost as much weight as one feather." The Hen said as if it was nothing.
这意味着我只是减轻了一根羽毛一样的重量，"母鸡说，好像什么都没有发生。
All the other chickens were sleeping, so none of them could see it.
所有的鸡都在睡觉，所以没有人看到。
There was an owl sitting on a branch next to the hen house.
在鸡舍的旁边有一只猫头鹰栖息在树枝上。
Owl's eyes have keen sight at night.
猫头鹰的眼睛在夜间很敏锐。
The owl muttered to himself. "I heard it clearly. I heard what the hen said with my sharp ears."
猫头鹰自言自语道："我可是听得很清楚。我敏锐的耳朵听到那只母鸡说的话。"
But the owl lost interest soon and told this story to a pigeon in his neighborhood.
但这只猫头鹰很快对此失去了兴趣，只是将其讲给了邻居的一只鸽子。
Listen to me. Well, a Hen in the hen house pulled out one of her own feathers to look attractive.
听我说。鸡舍里有一只母鸡里拔了一根羽毛，让自己看起来更诱人。
How can this happen? Is it true? That's ridiculous.
怎么会发生这种事？这是真的吗？那太可笑了。
The pigeon burned to tell the story to her friends, so she told it to a barnyard duck in her neighborhood.
鸽子等不及赶紧讲这个故事告诉她的朋友们，所以告诉了邻居的鸭子。
"Hey, duck. I have some surprising news." "What's up?" "A hen pulled all her feathers out to look pretty."
"嘿，鸭子。我听说了一些令人惊讶的消息。""什么消息啊？""一只母鸡把所有的羽毛都拔了，只是为了看起来漂亮。"
"What a stunning story!"The barnyard duck was shocked by the story.
"多么滑稽的事情啊！"鸭子同样为此事感到震惊。
"That's unbelievable. If she pulled out all her feathers, she must have a cold and be running a fever."
"这真是难以置信。如果她把所有的羽毛都拔了，她会感冒，发烧的"
