There is an old tree in someone's garden. Magpies nest in it, and their mother will soon hatch little magpies. One day, a magpie flew back and forth on the nest and kept singing. Soon, groups of magpies heard the news one after another and gathered in the tree. Suddenly, two magpies called to each other in the tree, as if talking, and then flew away.
After a while, a stork flew from the air and made a "giggle" sound, and two magpies followed. The other magpies cried loudly when they saw it, as if they had something to say. The stork cackled again as if to grant the magpie's request. The stork circled the ancient tree three times, then bent down and rushed to the magpie's nest, took out a red snake and swallowed it. The magpie cheered as if celebrating and thanked the stork. It turned out that two magpies were looking for help from the stork.
Original text:
In a garden, there are old trees, and the chicks will come out of the trees. One day, the magpie wandered in the tree, whining. Soon, a group of magpies began to sing, and they gathered in the ancient forest. Suddenly, two magpies are singing to each other. If they speak in language, they suddenly walk away.
A few days later, a stork came from the sky, cackling, and two magpies followed. Magpies make noise when they see it, if you have anything to complain about. The stork giggled again, as if agreeing to this request. The stork circled the ancient tree three times, then sneaked into the magpie nest and swallowed a red snake. Crowds of magpies dance loudly. If they celebrate, they will thank you. Gaelic birds recruit storks to help friends.
