鷦鷯

Portrait of Kevin Tang鷦鷯嘅巢不嬲都係喺車房入面。有一日,鷦鷯爸爸同鷦鷯媽媽都飛出去搵嘢食俾佢哋嘅仔女食,將仔女佢哋留喺個巢嗰度。

過咗一陣之後,爸爸返嚟喇。

佢講:「你哋做咩呀?阿仔阿女,邊個整親你哋呀?你哋做咩嚇成咁樣嘅!」

啲仔女就講:「唉呀,爸爸!啱啱嚟咗隻大怪獸。個樣又惡又得人驚!佢用一對好大嘅眼瞪住我哋個巢,嚇死我哋喇﹗」

爸爸就話:「噢﹗敢佢去咗邊呀?」

啲仔女就話:「呀,佢向呢個方向走咗。」

爸爸就講:「哈!我要去追佢。好喇,唔好擔心喇,阿仔阿女!我一定會捉到佢。」

於是鷦鷯爸爸就去追呢隻『大怪獸』。

佢飛咗一陣之後,佢見到一隻獅子喺路上面行緊。

但係鷦鷯唔驚。佢落喺獅子嘅背脊上面開始鬧。佢講:「你點解嚟我屋企嚇親我啲仔女呀?」

獅子唔理佢繼續走。

令講嘢大聲嘅佢更加惡噉鬧,佢話:「我話比你聽呀…你冇權嚟我屋企。同埋,你如果再嚟…唔…雖然我不想噉做…」佢舉起一隻腳講:「我會一腳踩斷你嘅背脊!」

然後鷦鷯爸爸就飛返巢嗰處。

佢話:「阿仔阿女,我已經俾咗呢個嘢一個教訓。佢不會再嚟o架喇!」
