许其正：红冠水鸡之家
（Fotolia）
这个小水池里住着
一个红冠水鸡的和乐之家
每天傍晚作完运动之后
我都会来看望它们
它们是由一对父母和一个孩子组成的
它们的家就筑在水边的一丛芦苇近根处
起先我看到的是当母亲的在家看顾孩子
当父亲的来到水池里寻找食物
最常见的是啄那大萍上的小白虫，加上爱
用嘴衔回去给当母亲的吃，并喂饱孩子
有时当母亲的也来到水池里觅食
最近连孩子也出来了
这时它们已不只是在寻食了
孩子已长大到需要教导了
父母亲便带它们的孩子来学习各种技能：
游泳，潜水，寻食，保护自己……
样样要学，以便慢慢可以自立
当然也作一些休闲娱乐活动
每天傍晚作完运动之后
我总要来看望它们
看到它们在西斜的彩霞中
一家载浮载沉，和和乐乐地生活
心中禁不住欣喜与羡慕：
但愿这个世界上的每一个家庭，每一个人
都能过和乐安全的日子！
The family of Swamp Chicken HsuChiCheng
There is a family on good terms of the swamp chicken
Lives in the little pond
I always come to visit them
After I finished my exercise in the dusk
It composes of a pair of parents and a child
The family builds near the root of the reeds by the water
At first I found is the mother take care her child at the family
The father comes to the pond to search for food
The most often is pecked the little white insects on the big duckweed, plus the love
Holds in the mouth back for the mother to have meal, and feed the child
Sometimes the mother comes out to search for food on the pond too
Even the child comes out also recently
They not only search food at that time
The child is grown enough for need to teach
The parents carry their child to teach every kind of skill:
Swim, dive, search food, safeguard himself…
Every kinds of skill need to learn, in order to stand on own legs slowly
Of course to do some rest and leisure exercise also
I always come to visit them
After I finished my exercise in the dusk
On looking them whole family living with
Now pop up, now sink, harmoniously
I can’t help joyful and admire:
Wish every family and everybody on the world
Can live with harmonious and safe @
