保罗的爸爸，肯·布鲁斯是一名工程师，他也是观鸟爱好者。 去年春天，花园里来了两只小鸟。肯安了一台网络摄像机，并让邻居上网观看。大家都很感兴趣。不久，出现了一个小鸟窝，然后又来了一只鸟，一只布谷鸟。布谷鸟耐心地观察着。之后鸟窝里出现了3个小鸟蛋。 布谷鸟等待着，突然，她的机会来了。鸟妈妈不在窝里。布谷鸟冲向鸟窝。两秒钟后，3个蛋旁边多了一个蛋。

After twelve days, the young cuckoo hatched. The little birds hurried to get food for the baby cuckoo. Ken's neighbours watched excitedly. The baby cuckoo picked up the other eggs easily with its back, and pushed them out of the nest. The birds returned and pushed food into its mouth. After twenty days, the cuckoo was enormous! On 6th May, it opened its wings. In a moment, the nest was empty. 'The show was over. Ken's neighbours are all enthusiastic birdwatchers now, of course!

12 天后，小布谷鸟孵出来了，小鸟急忙给它找食。 肯的邻居们很激动地观察着小布谷鸟用后背轻易地抬起另外3个蛋，把它们推出了鸟窝。小鸟回来了，把食物塞进了小布谷鸟的嘴里。20天后，小布谷鸟长得非常大了!5月6号，它展开翅膀，一会儿，鸟窝空了。表演结束了。 当然，现在肯的邻居都成了观鸟爱好者了!
