在两个大山之间的小村庄里,住着一个聪明的鹦鹉,名叫凯夫。他的羽毛像每天早晨升起的阳光一样金黄,他的眼睛闪闪发亮,像波斯地毯上闪耀的蓝宝石一样耀眼。凯夫爱在他家窗台上安置下来,这个小屋子是用泥巴和干草建造的,每天他都看村民做着日常活计。
有一天,一个叫阿里的小男孩跑进村庄,疯狂地挥舞着双臂,高声呼救说:“我的花园!我的宝贝花园!”“附近河流的水突然涌进来了,我的所有菜都被泡坏了!”
凯夫兴趣盎然地看着阿里的眼泪落在尘土上。鹦鹉跳下窗台飞到阿里身边,用侧脸倾斜,似乎在试图理解发生了什么事。
“怎么办?”凯夫用柔和悦耳的声音问道,只有阿里能听懂。他说:“也许我们可以合作来救你的花园?”
阿里的眼睛闪亮起来,他脑子里浮现出了鹦鹉的话。 一起,他们冲向河边,调查了损伤。水果真的是超过了河岸,但凯威注意到一些奇怪的地方——河床的一小部分,水似乎是在流出而不是进去。
