Once there was a baby bird. The baby bird had a small beak. She had small legs. She had small wings. She was very small, but she was warm and happy. Then something happened.

从前有一只鸟宝宝。鸟宝宝长着小小的喙，小小的腿，小小的翅膀。她个头特别小，但是暖乎乎的，过得很开心。直到后来，有事情发生了。

The baby bird began to grow. Oh my! said the baby bird. My beak is getting stronger. My legs are getting longer. My wings are getting bigger too.

鸟宝宝开始长大了。 "哇呀！"鸟宝宝叫道。 我的喙变得越来越结实了。 我的腿变得越来越长了。 我的翅膀也变得越来越大了。

The baby bird grew and grew. Oh my! said the baby bird. Look at me! I am getting bigger and bigger. If I grow much more, I will run out of room here.

鸟宝宝长啊长，越长越大。 "哇呀！"鸟宝宝叫道。 快看我！我长得越来越大啦。 要是我再长点，这儿就装不下我啦。

The baby bird grew more and more. The baby bird said, Look at me! My beak is getting stronger, a lot stronger. My legs are getting longer, a lot longer. My wings are getting bigger, a lot bigger. This space is just too small for me.

鸟宝宝还在不停地长啊长。 鸟宝宝说： 快看我呀！ 我的喙变得更结实了，结实好多好多。 我的腿变得更长了，长了好多好多。 我的翅膀变得更大了，大了好多好多。 这个地方对我来说实在太小啦。

Ouch! said the baby bird. I am too big for this space. My legs are too long. My wings are too big. What can I do?

"哎哟！"鸟宝宝叫了一声。 这个地方太小，我都挤不下啦。 我的腿太长了。 我的翅膀太大了。 我该怎么办呢？
