2月10日下午，我家来了一位不速之客，是一只鸡，我很喜欢它，给它取名叫芦花。因为它身上的花纹又像鱼鳞又像荡漾的水波，更像芦苇花那样美丽动人。
On the afternoon of February 10, an unexpected guest came to my house. It's a chicken. I like it very much. I named it Luhua. Because the patterns on it are like scales and ripples, more beautiful and moving like reed flowers.
芦花喜欢吃的食物可多了：有嫩嫩的青菜，绿绿的青草，就连白白的豆腐它也喜欢吃，还有许多许多。。。。。。，但它最爱吃的还是大米。听大人说鸡的视力从黄昏开始就渐渐模糊了，俣只要我撒下一把大米，它就会马上反应过来，一颗一颗的啄个精光。
There are many foods that Luhua likes to eat: there are tender green vegetables, green grass, even white tofu. There are many more...... But its favorite food is rice. It's said that the vision of the chicken is gradually blurred since dusk. As long as I scatter a handful of rice, Minamata will immediately respond and peck at the essence one by one.
芦花的睡姿很奇怪，总爱跳上院子里高高横着的竹杆上蹲着睡，一有什么动静它就睁开眼睛“咕咕蛋、咕咕蛋”地叫起来，好象在说“吵死啦、吵死啦”。但有时就象个胆小鬼似的吓的飞到爷爷养花的高台上，常会打碎花盆，免不了落得爷爷一顿“批评”。
Luhua's sleeping posture is very strange. She always likes to squat on the high horizontal bamboo pole in the yard and sleep. Whenever there is any movement, she opens her eyes and "coos, coos" to shout, as if to say "it's noisy, it's noisy.". But sometimes, like a coward, he flies to the stage where grandpa keeps flowers. He often breaks the flowerpot, which inevitably leads to Grandpa's "criticism".
虽然芦花很调皮，但我还是非常喜爱它，时常牵着它在院子里溜达，它是我的“甜心宝贝”。
Although Luhua is very naughty, I still like it very much. I often walk around in the yard with it. It's my "sweetheart baby".
