When Spring came, she found the earth cold and bare, but she soon changed all that, and by the time Summer arrived, the world is a very different place. It is a green world now, green leaves on the trees, green grass in the fields, green plants crowding in the hedges②, and flowers opening everywhere.

The days are long and the nights are short, because in sunny June, the sun gets up early and goes to bed late. This is the most wonderful and brilliant month of the year. The birds sing from sunrise to sunset.
As night falls, one after another the birds stop their singing, and after a few last sleepy sounds, put their heads under their wings to rest for an hour or two before beginning again. They do not all sleep , however. When other birds are silent, comes a soft cry, then, after a few moments, another, louder this time; and soon the nightingale③ pouring out his wonderful song.
As the night falls, the birds One by one, the children stopped singing, and after a few sleepy whispers, they buried their heads under their wings and took a nap for an hour or two, preparing to go on stage next time. However, not all birds sleep. As the other birds grew quiet, a soft chirp came, and then, after a moment, another one, louder this time; and soon the nightingale began to perform his wonderful song .
Not only at night does the nightingale sing. On almost every warm day in early June, the little brown bird sings away in the roads and woods, but, as all the other birds are also singing at the same time, we do not notice his voice so much. It is at night, when he has the field all to himself, that we hear the nightingale at his best.
The nightingale does not sing only at night. In the first few days of June, whenever it is warm, this little brown bird will sing loudly on the roads and in the forest. However, because all the other birds were singing together at this time, it was difficult for us to distinguish his voice. Only at night, when the whole wilderness belongs to him, can we hear his most beautiful singing.
