Head in the Sand

Head in the Sand Rico's mother told him a story about a big bird. This bird has long legs and a long neck. What is it?It is an ostrich.

把头埋在沙子里 里科的妈妈给他讲了一个关于一只大鸟的故事。这种鸟有长长的腿和长长的脖子。它是什么?它是一只鸵鸟。

When ostriches are frightened, they hide their heads in the sand. They think that if they cannot see danger, nothing bad will happen. One day, an ostrich was being chased by a wolf. It was really scared. So, it hid its head in the sand. The bird assumed that if he couldn't see the wolf, then the wolf couldn't see him either. But the wolf saw the rest of the ostrich and he quickly ate the bird. Rico laughed. “ What a dumb bird. ” Rico's mother said, " Yes. Pretending danger doesn't exist does not make it so. "

鸵鸟害怕时，就把头藏在沙子里。他们认为如果他们看不到危险，就不会发生坏事。 一天，一只鸵鸟被狼追赶。它真的很害怕。于是，它把头埋进了沙子里。鸟以为如果他看不见狼，那么狼也看不见他。但狼看到了鸵鸟的其余部分，很快就把它吃掉了。里科笑了。“真是只笨鸟。” 里科的妈妈说:“是的。假装危险不存在并不意味着危险真的存在。
