《仙鹤来了》。作者：苏珊·伦诺克斯。

flying north to nest. Sandhill cranes spend the winter in warm areas in the south. They migrate north in the spring. They go north to make nests, lay eggs, and raise chicks.

飞往北方筑巢。 沙丘鹤在南方温暖的地区过冬。 春天它们会向北迁徙。 它们去北方筑巢、产卵，养育鹤宝宝。

Cranes fly north in flocks. They fly many miles each day.

仙鹤成群结队飞往北方。 它们每天要飞很远的路。

Eat up. The cranes get hungry and tired. They need a place to eat and rest. They know just where to go.

吃饱饱。 仙鹤们又饿又累。 它们需要找个地方吃饭休息。 它们刚好知道该去哪里。

The sky grows dark over Nebraska. It's not a storm. It's the Sandhill Cranes.

内布拉斯加州的天空暗了下来。 这不是暴风雨要来哦。 是沙丘鹤飞来啦。

Sandhill cranes stop at a river. The river offers water, food, and shelter.

沙丘鹤停在了一条河边。 这里有水源、食物，还有安全的栖息处。
