"Pigeon" by Hu Shi

The clouds are clear and the sky is high, what a late autumn atmosphere!

There is a group of pigeons playing in the sky.

Look at them in twos and threes,

. Going back and forth in circles,

. As if they are in a hurry,——

Suddenly, the ground turns over and reflects the sun, The white feathers stand out against the blue sky, so beautiful!
