Kingfisher likes to stop on the reed pole by the water, and a pair of small red claws hold the reed pole tightly. Its color is very bright. Feathers on the head are like olive headscarves, embroidered with emerald patterns. The feathers on the back are like a light green coat. The feathers in the abdomen are like auburn shirts. It is small and exquisite, with a sharp and long mouth under a pair of bright and flexible eyes.
Jade birds sing clearly and love to fly against the current. In the blink of an eye, it gently stopped on the reed pole. It stared at the surface of the microwave motionless, waiting for the small fish to swim to the surface.
The little fish quietly put its head out of the water and blew a small bubble. Although it is so clever, it can't escape the sharp eyes of kingfisher. Kingfisher pushed open the reed pole, flew past like an arrow, picked up the small fish and flew away far away against the water. Only the reed stalks are still shaking and the water waves are still rippling.
We really want to catch a kingfisher to raise. The old fisherman looked at us and said, "children, do you know where the kingfisher's home is?" Go up the stream, on the steep rock wall. It flew here from so far away to make friends with you! "
Our faces turned a little red and dismissed the idea. When the kingfisher came, we looked at its beautiful feathers from a distance, hoping that it could stay on the reed pole for a while.
