     The Talking Mynah    Hsu ChiCheng

 

In the evening when I go sporting in the park

I see somebody holding a birdcage

Which contains a mynah

 

“You see, it can talk!”

The man brags, and then speak to his mynah:

“You say I can talk.”

 And the mynah repeats the sentence

All the watchers are surprised

 

The man speaks on and the mynah follows

And repeats his words

And the man keeps it talking

While bragging how he carefully trains it

And nurtures it with delicious food, plus other comfort

And how he teaches it speak time and again …

 

When the sun sets in the west and dusk approaches

He departs with the birdcage and mynah

All the watchers, filled with admiration, watch him leaving

But I say in my heart disapprovingly:

“Whatever comfort offered to it

Is no better than send it back to mountain forest

Which is the paradise of birds!”

鳥為大自然之物,當然要讓牠們回大自然最好.

鳥兒肯定也吃了苦頭

鳥的天堂

當然是回歸山林

讓屬於自然的回歸自然.什麼訓練都是人加諸他物的"苦毒".
