Born into a medical family, Amar, a 15-year-old boy, was expected to be a doctor, but deep down in his heart, he was eager to take up writing as his future career. He was in a great dilemma whether to pursue his dream or live up to his parents' expectation until one day when his father gifted him a parrot.The parrot had two hazy lines in her neck: black and red.
阿玛出生于一个医学家庭,15岁的男孩,本应成为一名医生,但在内心深处,他渴望将写作作为自己未来的职业。他陷入了一个巨大的困境,是追求自己的梦想,还是不辜负父母的期望,直到有一天,他的父亲送给他一只鹦鹉。鹦鹉的脖子上有两条模糊的线:黑色和红色。
Amar knew the hazy lines mark the stage of learning. “When there is a good teacher, how can his student be stupid”, he used to believe. It was absolutely true.
阿玛知道模糊的线条标志着学习的阶段。“有一个好老师,他的学生怎么会愚蠢”,他曾经相信。这绝对是真的。
Metto's cage was yellow with a big door and a shiny silver rod (杆) running through the centre. Metto's world was fantastic, surrounded by eight-foot white walls with some plum trees. And a lawn, with a palm tree in the middle, was dotted with multiple-color roses.

It was either love with Amar or, might be, she had never tasted the taste of a bigger world.
每天下午放学回家后,阿玛总是把笼子的门推给梅托,让她在棕榈树旁自由活动。Metto可以让自己自由,因为她学会了如何滑上门,但她从未尝试过这样做。这要么是对Amar的爱,要么可能是她从未尝到更大世界的味道。
Amar always talked with Metto in Pashto (普什图语). Whenever Amar fished out peanuts from his pocket, Metto talked frequently "Toti choori khore"—parrot! Wanna eat choori. She had learned one more sentence after meeting with a friend belonging to jungle outside the white walls. She always said that at the end of meal "Da wakht bam teer she"—this shall to be passed, which Amar had never taught her.
阿玛总是用普什图语和梅托交谈(普什图语). 每当阿玛从口袋里掏出花生时,梅托就经常说“托蒂·乔里·霍尔”——鹦鹉!想吃辣椒。她在白墙外与一位丛林中的朋
