 　　小麻雀的得意

　　The Little Sparrow's Small Happiness

　　1、大鹏一飞，就飞在九万里高空上。

　　The great peng bird soars at a height of 9,000 miles.

　　2、哈哈！这家伙花这么大的力气，飞那么高干什么呢？

　　Ha, ha. Look at that guy! What's he think he's doing wasting so much energy to fly so high.

　　3、我要嘛飞到树上唱唱歌……

　　My life is so easy. If I want to sing, I just buzz up to a branch.

　　要嘛飞到地上吃吃小虫，自来自去，多逍遥。

　　If I want to eat a worm, I flutter down to the ground. I couldn't be more carefree.

　　4、小麻雀的知识、境界都和大鹏不一样。

　　There are differences between the realm of the sparrow and the peng bird.

　　我们不必嘲笑小麻雀，也不必羡慕大鹏鸟。

　　We shouldn't laugh at the little sparrow in its small, self-contained world; nor should be envy the great peng bird in its grandeur¹.
