a little bird by 潘学峰 Look, a bird, a little bird! She flaps her wings, clapping the wind, Is she fleeing away from the earth? by flying a cross word. Oh, the little bird! How does she so hesitate and wander? Is she stuggling with eager? Or because she has to suffer? She's been flying day and night must be she really tired does she need to have a rest? No, she is dragging by the glimming light A flying bird 一只飞翔的小鸟 by Wangqinling Look, a bird, a flying bird! He flaps his wings, blowing wind, To flee from the world. He draws a cross in air above the field. Oh, that bird! Why does he circle and hesitate? Is he not willing to leave his land? Or does he suffer being wounded? He flies day and night, Must be completely tired. But he is going to have no rest. The bird Is fascinated by bright light.
A bird flying under the blue sky A fish swimming under the clear water Both of them seem happy Still people wondering If bird envying the life of fish Or fish looking forward to living the life of bird The bird and fish laughing at what people thinking Bird has bird’s sky Fish has fish’s water Bird and fish feeling happy Not because fish like sky or bird like water Just because both bird and fish like their own life
(Note: Photo is downloaded from diytrade.com.) One year, I told my relatives in Guangzhou not to give me any mooncakes with egg yolks inside. Upon arrival, the x-ray at the Honolulu Airport revealed some mooncakes contained egg yolks, and the officer confiscated the delicious pastries out of the fear of bird flu. There were lots of mooncakes at the Taoyuan Airport, but I was not going to buy any because I could buy them here in Honolulu, especially the ones with egg yolks inside. However, I could not resist the Egg Yolk Puff Pastry ( 蛋黃酥 ), which my son and I had in Guangzhou this summer for the first time and loved it. So, I bought a box of eight pieces, thinking I would eat three during the 10-hour trip and let the rest take a chance. I claimed no food on my Custom Form, thinking snacks are ... just snacks. Well, the officer knew better. So, I had to confess I brought some Pineapple Pastry ... (but he could not see the three dots). He knew what Taiwanese Pineapple Pastries were because he had some before. The officer noted on my form: yes for food (instead of no) and added Pineapple cake. I was sent to an x-ray machine as a result. As I put the duty free bag through the machine, I felt sorry for not being able to eat the delicious pastry. The x-ray officer saw the egg yolks, and asked me which airport I came through. I said Taiwan. He decided I should keep these tasty egg yolks. The adventure did not end there. I was so happy, feeling lucky. Without paying any attention, I followed a crowd to exit, but the officer who just took my Custom Form called out loudly: STOP! COME BACK! I thought: Shxt, he won't let me keep the egg yolks after all. It turned out that I was in the wrong exit (for tour groups), because I was in such a hurry to get away from these uniformed officers. I am sure I lost quite a few brain cells over these egg yolks. I should never let my mouth make any stupid decisions again. From wikipedia: 蛋黃酥 ( 台灣 ) 蛋黃酥 是 台灣 月餅 的衍生品；內餡是熟 蛋黃 、 紅豆 沙，甜而不膩，香酥可口；以發源地台灣 台中縣 政府所在地 豐原市 的糕餅店所烘焙的最為著稱。 Egg Yolk Pastry (Taiwan) It is a kind of mooncake sold in Taiwan. In the center is an egg yolk from a salted duck egg, the middle layer is red bean paste, and the outer layer resembles puff pastry.
White bird of paradise. p.s. There are some on my way to work, along the path from the parking structure to the office building. I have noticed that it blooms more than once a year.
