Somewhere in the atlantic ocean, eighteen sixty two, the caped inside this was the thickest fog he had ever seen. They were over three hundred and thirty kilometers from the closest land, so he didn't know where to go. The ship was on its way to europe just ten hours ago. They left new york, but now the engine stopped working. Clearly, they needed help. Suddenly, the captain remembred the coming pigeons. He ranked them quickly, wrote a message for help and tied IT to big blue leg. Big blue flew w up and then returned almost right away. The captain became more worried. You are our last hope, little guy, said the captain. As he tied a note to arnie, the smaller and Younger of the two pigeons, the captain threw him into the air. Arnie flew around and around, higher and higher. Soon the bird was away from the ship and the captain couldn't see on me anymore. That's a good sign, said the captain, with more hope. Almost three hundred and forty kilometers away, Billy heard fast moving wings come into his building and go straight to the water ball. Hi there, little guy. Well, aren't you? The first is bird. Billy smiled. Then he saw the note. Billy knew what to do. He took the note running as fast as he could do. The company office there, he learned arnie had flown in fog and over the sea for more than four hours. Thanks to arnie, people sent help to the ship. The captain later explained. Arnie really is the most amazing bird.

月光透过屋檐。绕着山路十八弯。你看高山下路,一到段位河水清。看他手中的剑伤心目出的剑。不知。斜影缝补了几遍,哪怕画里是最简单的烦。汗水里落石陈咏开远方的感触望恰是他坚定眉眼。屋檐,我在远方的山川。绕着山是弯弯。心上那闪,闪耀在人间。没看你高山山路里头在外壳水竟是他。一看他瘦弱的剑,伤心无出的剑,不知经历多少人我旧的鞋子路铰接,迎风不过几步。20年,我是转眼看远方的灯烛光,那是他坚定蔓延月光。透过屋檐。传染雪山下的小绕着城市的港湾。流血是否不勇敢?好在人间。
