62 THE RETURN

CHAPTER 62 THE RETURN It was a quiet afternoon on the pond. But the quiet was gradually being overtaken by sounds not heard around there for many months. The sounds grew louder and louder, and then a flock of geese appeared above the trees. Honk! Honk! Honk! Most flocks of geese move lazily through the sky and trail off in wobbly lines. But not this one. This flock was fast. It flew in a perfect V formation. And it was led by a small, graceful goose. The flock flew once around the pond before gliding down and gently splashing into the water. The geese gathered in a tight group in the middle of the pond. They floated there for a while, softly honking to one another. And then the leader broke away from the others. He swam straight toward the Nest, waddled into the garden, and fluttered up to his mother's shoulder.

第六十二章归来这是池塘边一个安静的下午。 但是，寂静渐渐被几个月来没有听到的声音所取代。 声音越来越大，然后一群鹅出现在树的上方。 嘎!嘎!嘎!大多数鹅群懒洋洋地在天空中移动，然后摇摇晃晃地走远。 但不是这个。这群人跑得很快。 它以完美的V字形飞行。 领头的是一只优雅的小鹅。 鸟群绕着池塘飞了一圈，然后滑翔下来，轻轻地溅起水来。 鹅紧紧地聚集在池塘中央。 他们在那里漂浮了一会儿，轻轻地互相鸣笛。 然后领头的人脱离了其他人。 他径直向鸟巢游去，摇摇摆摆地走进花园，拍着翅膀飞到妈妈的肩膀上。

"Welcome home, son," said Roz. "It's good to be back, Ma," said Brightbill.

“欢迎回家，儿子，”罗兹说。 “回来真好，妈妈，”布莱特比尔说。
