The whole class follows their teacher to the park to pick up litter. At first some of the kids are squeamish about getting dirty, but when a frightened bird flies off because of a rattling can, they start to understand why this place needs to be kept clean.
Arriving at the Park
周六早上，老师带着同学们走进公园。
On Saturday morning, the teacher led her students into the park.
Xiao Li
哎呀，这儿怎么这么脏啊？地上到处是。
Ugh, why is it so dirty here? There's trash all over the ground.
Teacher
是啊。今天我们不上课，每人一个，把它捡。
It really is. Today we're not having class — everyone takes a bag, and we'll pick it all up clean.
Xiao Fang
用手捡吗？太脏了吧……
With our hands? That's way too gross…
The Bird Flies Away
小李弯下腰，捡起一个空，又捡起几张报纸。
Xiao Li bent down, picked up an empty bottle, then picked up a few sheets of newspaper.
他刚要去拿一个，罐子一响，一只小鸟得飞走了。
Just as he reached for a can, it clattered, and a little bird took fright and flew away.
Xiao Fang
你看，小鸟都被跑了。这么脏，它们也住不下去。
Look, the bird got scared off. With it this filthy, they can't go on living here.
Xiao Fang
我不嫌脏了，给我也来一个！
I don't mind the mess anymore — hand me a bag too!
Clean and Beautiful Again
一个上午过去，三个大都装满了。
A whole morning went by, and all three big bags were packed full.
Xiao Li
现在多了！绿绿的，真好看。
It's so much cleaner now! The grass is lush and green — it looks lovely.
Xiao Fang
刚才那只小鸟，会不会再回来呀？
That little bird from before — do you think it'll come back?
话还没说完，一只小鸟落在树上，叫了两声。大家都笑了。
Before she'd even finished speaking, a little bird landed in a tree and chirped twice. Everyone laughed.
