My name is Lisa. I have a bird. She is white. So I call her Xiaobai. Xiaobai is only two years old. She’s not big. But she is beautiful and clever. She can speak.

One day I go shopping with my sister Gina and Xiaobai. At Green Clothes Store Gina sees a red skirt and says, “Look! Lisa! How beautiful the red skirt is!” Xiaobai answers her instead of (代替) me. “ No, I think you look nice in that green skirt.” Gina says, “OK. I listen to you. ” Then she asks the woman in the shop to take her the green one. The woman looks at Xiaobai, opens her mouth but says nothing. At last she says to Gina, “ I never see a bird that can speak such words. It’s great! You can take this green skirt. Oh, you needn’t pay for（付钱） it.”

Gina is very happy. She asks me and my bird to have a big lunch in Leo’s Restaurant and then we go home.

The train started moving. It was packed with people of all ages. Most of them were working men and women and young college boys and girls. Near the window sat an old man with his son, who looked about thirty years old.

As the train moved, the son was filled with joy because he was very excited at the scenery outside. He said in a high voice, “See Dad, the green trees and the scenery are very beautiful!” It made the other people feel very strange. Everyone started talking in a low voice about the old man’s son. Suddenly, it started raining. Raindrops fell on the travelers through the open window. Seeing the rain, the old man’s son said happily, “See Dad, how beautiful the rain is!” Hearing these words, a young lady became angry with the man, as the raindrops were dropping on her new clothes. She couldn’t help shouting at the noisy son and his father.

“Can’t you see it is raining? You! Old man! If your son is not feeling well, get him to a mental hospital quickly and please don’t disturb us any more!” The old man’s face turned slightly red and then in a low voice, he replied, “We are on the way back from hospital. He was blind at birth. Only last week he can see again. The rain and the nature are new to him. Please forgive him.” All the other people became quiet.
