Cattle are driven far away, and the grass around the village is dense.
The hungry bird pecked the cow's back and prevented me from playing with my head.
Into the vicious grass, many cows spread out and sang to the reeds when they were white. ?
Second, translation.
The vast grassland is like being laid on the ground, and there are grasslands everywhere.
The intermittent melodious flute of the shepherd boy was faintly heard in the evening breeze.
After dinner, at sunset, the shepherd boy came back from the pasture.
He didn't even take off his hemp fiber, but just lay on the grass and looked at the full moon in the sky.
