Curious Cansu          

Cansu went to a jungle with her

mother and father in a lovely day in spring.

She was so happy for being there.

 Because there were so many interesting

things in the jungle.

She was watching the around carefully.

 The twitters of the birds interested her most.she started watching a group of sparrows. 

One of the sparrows was leaving its friends and seasawing through the tree which was alittle far away. Cansu recognised that it was doing it so often and it really looked so worried..

whenever the sparrow came back from the tree it was trying to tell something to its friends. But they were going on singinig and flying. The behavıours of the sparrow increased her curıousity. For that reason she asked her father to take her to the tree which the sparrow seesawed so often.

So they went there. When they got there they soon realised the two eggs on the branches of the tree which were about the fall down and also the birdnest which had already fallen down. The birdnest was all in bits. They got so surprised. They understood why the sparrow was so worried. It was actually asking for help from the others to save the eggs.

Cansu and her father pickedup the eggs and saved them. And then they started to pick up little bushes to make a new birdnest. The eggs and the little sparrow was in safe again.

Doing a favaour made Cansu so happy. She thought the curiousity  she had worked out.

While they were leaving the little sparrow was singing happily around Cansu as if it was saying Thank you to her.

MERAKLI CANSU

Güzel bir bahar günü küçük Cansu, anne ve babası ile ormana gezmeye gitmiş. Cansu ormana gittikleri için çok mutluymuş.Çünkü burada birçok ilginç şey varmış.Küçük Cansu etrafı dikkatlice inceliyormuş. Ormanda en çok serçelerin cıvıldamaları dikkatini çekmiş. Cansu bir serçe topluluğunu izlemeye başlamış. Minik bir serçe  arkadaşlarının yanından ayrılıp biraz ilerideki ağacın yanına gidip geri geliyormuş. Serçenin bu durumu sık sık tekrarladığını ve telaşlı olduğunu fark etmiş Cansu. Sanki her geri döndüğünde arkadaşları serçelere bir şeyler anlatmak istiyormuş bizim minik serçe. Fakat arkadaşları kendi aralarında şarkı söyleyip uçamaya devam ediyorlarmış. Serçenin hareketleri Cansu’yu daha da meraklandırmış. Babasına minik serçenin telaşlı hareketlerle gittiği ağacın yanına gitmek istediğini söylemiş.Babasıyla birlikte gitmişler. Birde ne görsünler, ağacın alt dallarında düşmek üzere olan iki serçe yumurtası ve yere düşmüş bir kuş yuvası varmış. Yuva yerde param parça olmuş. Çok şaşırmışlar. Meğer bizim serçe yumurtaları için bu kadar endişeliymiş.Kırılmaması için arkadaşlarından yardım istiyormuş. Hemen babası ile yumurtaları dikkatlice daldan alıp kurtarmışlar.Babasıyla birlikte el birliği ile kırılan yuva için yerden kuru dallar ve otlar bularak yeni bir yuva yapmışlar.Yumurtalar ve minik serçe artık güvendeymiş.

Cansu iyilik yapmaktan çok mutlu olmuş. Merak duygusunun büyük bir işe yaradığını düşünmüş.

Yanlarından ayrılırken minik serçe sanki teşekkür edercesine Cansu’nun kulağına güzel melodiler cıvıldamış mutlulukla…
