style="text-align:center;"><br></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">真好！</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">朋友送我一对珍珠鸟。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">放在一个简易的</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">竹条编成的笼子里，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">笼内还有一卷干草，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">那是小鸟舒适又温暖的巢。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">有人说，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">这是一种怕人的鸟。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我把它挂在窗前。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">那儿还有一盆</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">异常茂盛的法国吊兰。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我便用吊兰</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">长长的、串生着小绿叶的</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">垂蔓蒙盖在鸟笼上，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它们就像躲进</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">深幽的丛林一样安全；</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">从中传出的笛儿般</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">又细又亮的叫声，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">也就格外轻松自在了。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">阳光从窗外射入，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">透过这里，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">吊兰那些</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">无数指甲状的小叶，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">一半成了黑影，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">一半被照透，如同碧玉；</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><br></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">斑斑驳驳，<span class="ql-cursor"></span>生意葱茏。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">小鸟的影子</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">就在这中间隐约闪动，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">看不完整，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">有时连笼子也看不出，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">却见它们</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">可爱的鲜红小嘴儿</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">从绿叶中伸出来。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我很少扒开叶蔓瞧它们，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它们便渐渐敢</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">伸出小脑袋瞅瞅我。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我们就这样一点点熟悉了。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">三个月后，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">那一团</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">越发繁茂的绿蔓里边，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">发出一种</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">尖细又娇嫩的鸣叫。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我猜到，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">是它们有了雏儿。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我呢？</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">决不掀开叶片往里看，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">连添食加水时</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">也不睁大好奇的眼去</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">惊动它们。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">过不多久，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">忽然有一个小脑袋</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">从叶间探出来。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">更小哟，雏儿！</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">正是这个小家伙！</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它小，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">就能轻易地</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">由疏格的笼子钻出身。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">瞧，多么像它的母亲：</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">红嘴红脚，灰蓝色的毛，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">只是后背还没有</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">生出珍珠似的圆圆的白点；</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它好肥，整个身子</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">好像一个蓬松的球儿。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">起先，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">这小家伙</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">只在笼子四周活动，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">随后就在屋里飞来飞去，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">一会儿落在柜顶上，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">一会儿神气十足地站在书架上，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">啄着书背上</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">那些大文豪的名字；</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><br></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">一会儿</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">把灯绳撞得来回摇动，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">跟着跳到画框上去了。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">只要大鸟在笼里</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">生气儿地叫一声，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它立即飞回笼里去。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我不管它。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">这样久了，打开窗子，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它最多</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">只在窗框上站一会儿，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">决不飞出去。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">渐渐它胆子大了，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">就落在我书桌上。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它先是离我较远，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">见我不去伤害它，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">便一点点挨近，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">然后蹦到我的杯子上，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">俯下头来喝茶，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">再偏过脸瞧瞧我的反应。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我只是微微一笑，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">依旧写东西，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它就放开胆子跑到稿纸上，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">绕着我的笔尖蹦来蹦去；</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">跳动的小红爪子</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">在纸上发出嚓嚓响。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我不动声色地写，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">默默享受着</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">这小家伙亲近的情意。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">这样，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它完全放心了，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">索性用那涂了</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">蜡似的、角质的小红嘴，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">“嗒嗒”啄着我颤动的笔尖。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我用手抚一抚它</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">细腻的绒毛，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它也不怕，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">反而友好地</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">啄两下我的手指。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">有一次，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它居然跳进我的空茶杯里，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">隔着透明光亮的玻璃瞅我。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它不怕我突然把杯口捂住。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">是的，我不会。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">白天，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它这样淘气地陪伴我；</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">天色入暮，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它就在</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">父母的再三呼唤声中，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">飞向笼子，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">扭动滚圆的身子，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">挤开那些绿叶钻进去。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">有一天，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我伏案写作时，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它居然落到我的肩上。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我手中的笔不觉停了，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">生怕惊跑它。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">待一会儿，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">扭头看，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">这小家伙竟趴在我的肩。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">待一会儿，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">扭头看，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">这小家伙</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">竟趴在我的肩头睡着了，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">银灰色的眼睑盖住眸子，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">小红脚刚好</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">给胸脯上长长的绒毛盖住。</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我轻轻抬一抬肩，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">它没醒，睡得好熟！</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">还咂咂嘴，难道在做梦？</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span class="ql-cursor"></span></span></p> <p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">我笔尖一动，</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:22px;">流泻下一时的感受：</span></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><b style="font-size:22px;">信赖，</b></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><b style="font-size:22px;">往往创造出美好的境界。</b></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><br></p> <p
