Please read the story carefully,then translate the red sentences and tell me what are you thinking about when you read the whole story~Don't be shy,just make your imagination fly in your sky!
A swallow, returning from abroad and especially fond of dwelling with men, built herself a nest in the wall of a Court of Justice and there hatched seven young birds.
A snake gliding past the nest from its hole in the wall ate up the young unfledged nestlings.
The swallow, finding her nest empty, lamented greatly and exclaimed:" Woe to me a stranger that in this place where all others rights are protected, I alone should suffer wrong."
It is better to fight for justice than to rail at the ill. —— Alfred Tennyson
