An ostrich can dream
Each day, the ostrich gazes up to the sky.
It dreams of spreading its wings and soaring up high.
‘Perhaps if I run fast enough,
I will leave the ground?’
thinks the ostrich.
So it begins to run.
Pat, pat, pat.
Thud, thud, thud.
Flap, flap, flap.
Faster and faster it runs, but the ostrich will never be able to fly.
Its wings just aren’t big enough for its body.
It can only dream.
鴕鳥也有夢
每一天，鴕鳥凝視著天空。
夢想著展開雙翅，凌云空中。
“或許我跑得夠快，我就能離開地面了？”
鴕鳥想著。便也開始起跑。
啪，啪，啪；
砰，砰，砰；
噠，噠，噠。
鴕鳥越跑越快，
卻永遠也不能飛起來。
它們的翅膀撐不起它們的身體。
飛翔僅僅只能是個夢。
