Patience 耐心

My friend and I were busy mending fences when my house-keeper arrived. Several times during the day, she drove out, returning 45 minutes later. Feeling curious, my friend asked her:

 

"Where do you keep going?"

 

"Some darn birds built a nest in my car bumper¹!" she exclaimed². "Every two hours I have to go home because the parents are waiting go feed their young. I wish they'd hurry up and raise those kids."

 

我和我的朋友正在忙着修篱笆，这时候，我的管家也来了。在这一天中，她开车出去了好几次，每次都是四十分钟后回来，我的朋友感到很奇怪，于是问她：

 

“你总出去干什么？”

 

“一些该死的鸟在我的汽车保险杠上出了筑一个巢，”她说，“我必须每隔两小时回一趟家，不然那些大鸟就会等在那里喂它的小鸟，我真希望它们快点把她们的孩子喂大。”
