Sometimes it is not easy to do the job. Once, while he and his team members were s for a kind of rare birds in the forest, it suddenly began to rain heavily. They all got cold and wet in the rain. L, they were able to find this kind of birds. Also, they took a lot of clear pictures of the birds in their n habitat (栖息地).

“The g 1?” Mary asked.
“Yes, and I've never seen it,” said Colin.
The servant carried Colin outside and put him in his wheelchair. Dickon began to push it slowly. Mary followed and Colin l 2 his face up. The sky looked high. The clouds looked like birds. The wind came with sweetness. Colin was lifting his thin chest to enjoy the air.

“Is it?” Colin asked. “But there's no d 4. ” A few metres more, Mary whispered again. “This is where the b 5 flew over the wall. ”
“Is it?” Colin said. “I wish the bird would come again!”
“And that,” said Mary, pointing under a tree, “is where it s 6 me the key. ”
Colin sat up.
“Where? There?” Colin asked.
Mary walked to the ivy walls and moved the ivy branch.
“Look! Here's the door. Dickon, p 7 him in—quickly!” Mary cried.
Dickon did it with one strong, steady push.
They were inside the garden and the chair stopped as if by magic.
Colin l 8 into the garden. Over walls and trees, the green leaves crept. In the grass under the trees there were gold, purple and white f 9. The sun fell warm upon his face with a lovely touch. Mary and Dickon looked at Colin in s 10. He looked so different because a pink colour was creeping all over him—his face, neck and hands and all.
“I shall get well!” he cried out. “Mary! Dickon! I shall live forever and ever!”
