One day, feeling very sad and lonely, she was walking through a grassland when she noticed a small
butterfly caught in a thorn (荆棘) bush. The young girl carefully released the butterfly. Instead of flying
away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy. The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
"For your wonderful kindness," the good fairy said to the girl, "I will give you any wish you would like."
The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, "I want to be happy."
The fairy leaned toward her and whispered in her ear. Then the fairy disappeared.

secret of happiness would die with her. "Tell us, please," they begged, "Tell us what the good fairy said."

that the Murray had dried up, not one drop of water left.
One morning I went down to the river to try and catch some fish when I saw my boat high and dry (搁浅)
on the bank. I rushed down the river and saw all mud-no water. The fish were just lying there, dying. I looked
up to see if my friend was there. There was the nest but no eagle (鹰) I called out to her with my special
whistle which I made out of steel.
Suddenly a big shadow came over to me and the eagle landed in her nest and gave her young the food she
was out getting while I whistled. But then I suddenly noticed she was getting thinner and had a bit of sheep"s
wool in the side of her talon (利爪). It was deadly quiet by the river bank, except for some sound from my dog.
And also I couldn"t see one native animal or bird.
When I walked inside the kitchen, Mum and Dad had sad looks on their faces. "It"s time for us to move,
son, because the river can no longer support us," said Dad. I ran out of the kitchen door with tears in my eyes,
and down to the river bank, to my favorite spot, I said goodbye to my eagle, crying.
When it was time to go, I saw my eagle fly up into the air with her chicks in her talons, going away to try
and find another home, just like us. | | 1. Owing to the fact that _____ the eagle looked thinner. | A. there was not enough food for her
