| It's
a story about the Barn swallows... |
|
|
|
In Taiwan.
Saturday in Harbor-South. It's a cloudy day. Many barn
swallows appeared in Harbor-South, and some of them
stayed on the street in flocks. Looking at the trucks
running forward and backward on the street, I was
worried about them. Suddenly, a big truck passed swiftly
in front of me. What left on the ground is a little pile
of black shadow. I knew some disaster had happened ...
again. |
|
|
|
Birds are
also quite sentimental. Even though the swallow lying on
the ground would no longer budge a bit, another one,
looked like his family, flew to the side of him,
reluctant to accept the truth ... |
|
|
|
The third
swallow came close to them, seemingly trying to tell him
that the truth couldn't be changed ... But, he screamed
dolorously, demanding his friend to leave ... he would
rather believe that the disaster had never happened...
|
|
|
|
Another
big truck passed. Strong blast turned the dead swallow
on the ground. Observing the change of his gesture, the
family swallow was inspired and flew immediately back to
accompany the dead swallow ... |
|
|
|
Accompanying the dead swallow, he shrieked at him, "Get
up! Get up!" |
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the other one could no longer respond ...
Suddenly, the family swallow stepped closer, trying to
grab his body and get him up ... |
|
|
|
However,
it's too much a burden for him ... But still, he
fluttered the wings, again and again ... |
|
|
|
The dead
swallow couldn't respond, even through he wanted to ....
I believe so ... |
|
|
|
Another
car passed, the family swallow flew up in fright, but
came down again immediately after the car had left ...
|
|
|
|
Even
though the other swallows told him that the efforts were
in vain, he didn't give up, hoping against hope that his
family would get up again ... |
|
|
|
Another
truck passed. The body budged a bit because of the blast
... The family swallow was inspired again and tried
every possible attempt to get him up ... |
|
|
|
Finally,
he used up all the strength he could possibly gather ...
but still, he couldn't get any response from his family
... All of a sudden, he couldn't bear the sorrow,
shrieking at him, "Why don't you get up ?!!!"
I couldn't continue the writing. At last, I was worried
that this family swallow, which kept flying up and down
when the truck passed, would get hurt by the vehicles,
so I couldn't help but move the dead swallow to the bush
on the side of the street, although I knew I shouldn't
have interfered. The family swallow hovered in the sky
and screamed several times. Finally, he flew away ...
accepted the truth |
