Tom was visiting Grandma for a week. Her house was in a valley near the deep woods.

汤姆要去奶奶家住一周。 奶奶家坐落在密林附近的山谷里。

After lunch, Grandma took Tom on a walk. In the soft dirt they saw tracks with three long toes. Those are big bird feet, said Tom.

午饭后，奶奶带汤姆去散步。 他们在松软的泥土上看到了带有三根长脚趾的脚印。 “那是大鸟的脚印呀。”汤姆说。

Those are wild turkey tracks," said Grandma. If we are quiet, maybe we will see them.

“那是野生火鸡的脚印。”奶奶说。 “如果我们轻点儿走，说不定就能见到它们啦。”

Grandma and Tom walked quietly toward the trees. Suddenly, there was a loud whoosh right in front of them.

奶奶和汤姆轻手轻脚地朝树林走去。 突然，他们正前方传来一阵响亮的嗖嗖声。

Too big, dark birds flew up from the tall grass. They flew into the lowest branches of the trees and sat. Tom saw pale blue heads looking at him.

两只硕大的深色鸟儿从高高的草丛里飞了出来。 它们飞到树木最低的枝桠上停了下来。 汤姆看到几个淡蓝色的小脑袋正望着他。
