The Sharing Swans

(Originally in Chinese)

At the foot of Tiger Cave Hill in Xiaoshan District,

Hangzhou city, there is a lake where many black

and white swans live. Not long ago, a security officer

noticed a curious phenomenon--a black swan held

some food in its mouth and fed the gold fish in

the water. In fact, every morning after ten o’clock,

nine black swans in the lake craw onto a bamboo raft

to feed the gold fish. After that, they go back into

the water and swim away. Having finished their meal,

the gold fish swim after the swans as if they were very

close friends. Now these swans have become big stars and

attracted many people and television stations

to come and appreciate this heartwarming scene.

乐于分享食物的天鹅


　

在浙江省杭州萧山区老虎洞山脚下的湖中，养了很多天鹅，白天鹅、

黑天鹅都有。一只黑天鹅将食物含在嘴里，喂给水中的金鱼。

这个情景是前不久当地保安发现的，每天上午10点过后，

湖里的9只黑天鹅就会爬上竹筏给湖中的金鱼喂食，之后下水游走，

吃饱的一群金鱼也紧跟其后游弋，很是亲热。现在这些天鹅

成了大明星，电视台和很多人都去看了。
