Where were Karen’s car keys?
Paul’s father, Ken Bruce is an engineer.
He’s also an enthusiastic birdwatcher.
A cuckoo in the nest
该短语此处指这个故事,但也是一个习语(指一个人不属于某地或者不受欢迎,却偏偏利用这个地方)。
Notes:
Last spring, two little birds appeared in his garden. Ken installed a webcam, and invited his neighbours to log on. Everyone watched enthusiastically. Soon, there was a little nest. Then, another bird arrived. It was a cuckoo. The cuckoo watched patiently. Three little eggs appeared in the nest.
invite sb. to do sth.
邀请某人做某事
another: 又一,另一
后+单数名词
e.g. I invited Lucy to come to the party yesterday.

The cuckoo waited. Suddenly, she had her chance. The mother wasn’t there. The cuckoo darted to the nest. In two seconds, there was a fourth egg beside the other three.
她的机会来了。

After twelve days, the young cuckoo hatched.
The little birds hurried to get food for the baby cuckoo.
原形:hurry
Ken’s neighbours watched excitedly. The baby cuckoo picked up the other eggs easily with its back, and pushed them out of the nest. The birds returned and pushed food into its mouth. After twenty days, the cuckoo was enormous! On 6th May, it opened its wings. In a moment, the nest was empty. The show was over.
