Full text:

Black feathers, smooth and beautiful, a pair of scissors-like tails and a pair of agile wings make up such a lovely and lively swallow. Spring came in February and March, and the breeze blew slightly, like a drizzle falling in the sky for no reason. Thousands of soft willows relaxed their yellow-green eyes.

Red, white and yellow flowers, green grass and green leaves all flock to the market, forming a brilliant spring. Those swallows, so clever and lovely, also flew from the south, and joined this wonderful picture of beautiful spring scenery, adding a lot of interest to spring scenery.

Swallows, with scissors-like tails, fly obliquely over the vast sky in the breeze and drizzle, or when the sun is all over the ground. It sighed and flew from the rice fields here to the sorghum fields there. A few of them skimmed the sparkling lake, the swallows' tails or wing tips occasionally touched the water, and small halos rippled around.

There are also several couples who are tired of flying, resting lazily on the slender wires-bright blue springs, several wooden poles, traces of thin lines connected between several poles, and several thick and small black spots parked on the lines, that is, swallows. What an interesting picture it is!

There are also happy families, specially prepared a nest and two nests for our swallows, which are placed at the top of the beam of the main room. If this family has a plaque, it is the best nest for swallows. In the first year, the swallow came to live, and in the second year, our swallow, a couple of last year, will come to live again.

"Swallows come back to find the old base."

Last year's host, or last year's guest, how harmonious their host-guest relationship is! Occasionally, there are a few, but the swallows don't come to visit, which makes the owner very sad. They can't invite such luxurious guests, and everyone thinks their fate is bad.

This is the little swallow in our hometown, a lovely and lively swallow, which makes many children jump for joy, pay attention to addiction, make many farmers and citizens worry, or give directions comfortably, adding a lot of spring scenery and interest to our spring!

Now thousands of miles away from home! A country thousands of miles away! Relying on the floating house, galloping among the vast waves, just to see our little swallow.
