绘本节选
Tom was visiting Grandma for a week.
Her house was in a valley near the deep woods.
After lunch, Grandma took Tom on a walk.
In the soft dirt they saw tracks with three long toes.
“Those are big bird feet,” said Tom.
“Those are wild turkey tracks,” said Grandma.
“If we are quiet, maybe we will see them!”
Grandma and Tom walked quietly toward the trees.
Suddenly, there was a loud whoosh right in front of them
Two big, dark birds flew up from the tall grass.
They flew into the lowest branches of the trees and sat.
Tom saw pale blue heads looking at him
The turkeys were almost as big as he was.
“I didn’t know turkeys could fly,” Tom said.
“Wild turkeys like to show off,” Grandma said.

汤姆去看望奶奶一个星期了。
她的房子在树林深处的山谷里。
午饭后，奶奶带汤姆去散步。
在松软的泥土中，他们看到了有三个长脚趾的痕迹。
“那些是大鸟脚，”汤姆说。
“那些是野火鸡的足迹，”奶奶说。
“如果我们安静，也许我们会看到他们!”
奶奶和汤姆悄悄地向树走去。
突然，就在他们面前传来一声巨响
两只又大又黑的鸟从高高的草地上飞了起来。
他们飞到最低的树枝上坐下。
汤姆看见淡蓝色的头在看着他
火鸡几乎和他一样大。
“我不知道火鸡会飞，”汤姆说。
“野生火鸡喜欢炫耀，”奶奶说。
