繪本節選

Tom was visiting Grandma for a week.

Her house was in a valley near the deep woods.

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.

“Those are wild turkey tracks,” said Grandma.

“If we are quiet, maybe we will see them!”

Grandma and Tom walked quietly toward the trees.

Suddenly, there was a loud whoosh right in front of them

Two 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

The turkeys were almost as big as he was.

“I didn’t know turkeys could fly,” Tom said.

“Wild turkeys like to show off,” Grandma said.

湯姆去看望奶奶一個星期了。

她的房子在樹林深處的山谷里。

午飯后，奶奶帶湯姆去散步。

在松軟的泥土中，他們看到了有三個長腳趾的痕跡。

“那些是大鳥腳，”湯姆說。

“那些是野火雞的足跡，”奶奶說。

“如果我們安靜，也許我們會看到他們!”

奶奶和湯姆悄悄地向樹走去。

突然，就在他們面前傳來一聲巨響

兩只又大又黑的鳥從高高的草地上飛了起來。

他們飛到最低的樹枝上坐下。

湯姆看見淡藍色的頭在看著他

火雞幾乎和他一樣大。

“我不知道火雞會飛，”湯姆說。

“野生火雞喜歡炫耀，”奶奶說。
