[参考范文]
The Blue Bird is a sixact play for children by Maurice Maeterlinck.In a fairytalelike setting,Tyltyl and Mytyl,the son and daughter of a poor woodcutter,are sent by the Fairy Bérylune to search the world for the Blue Bird of Happiness.After many adventures,they find it in their own backyard.
What the play tells us is that happiness is to be found not in luxuries,but in simple things that are found in family life,as well as in acts of friendship and kindness.
