淮矿东方蓝海 论坛:The cage bird and the bat

A bird was confined in a cage outside a window.She often sang at night when all other birds were asleep.
One night a bat came.He asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night.
The bird answered,"Last year when I was singing in the daytime,a bird catcher heard my voice and caught me in his net.Since then I have never sung by day.''
The bat replied,"But it is useless to do this now that you have become a prisoner.'' Then he hlew away.
笼中的鸟和蝙蝠
一只鸟在一个窗户外的笼子里面。当晚上其他鸟儿睡觉时，它经常唱歌。
一天夜晚，一只蝙蝠飞到笼子边。他问鸟儿：“你为什么白天一声不吭，而在夜晚唱歌呢？”
鸟儿回答道：“去年的一天，当我在唱歌时，一个猎人听到了我的声音，然后把我装到了他的笼子里。从那时开始，我就从来没在白天唱过歌。”
蝙蝠回答道：“但是现在你没有必要这么做，因为你已经失去自由了。”然后，蝙蝠飞走了。
