Oh, oh, said the mother bird.

My baby will be here.

He will want to eat.

I must get something for my baby bird to eat, she said.
7
I will be back.
8
So away she went.

The egg jumped.

It jumped and jumped and jumped.
11
Out came the baby bird.

Down, out of the tree he went.

Down, down, down.
20
It was a long way down.
21
The baby bird could not fly.
22
He could not fly, but he could walk.

He did not know what his mother looked like.

He went right by her.

Are you my mother?
29
He said to the kitten.
30
The kitten just looked and looked.

The kitten was not his mother, so he went on.
33
Then he came to a hen.

Are you my mother?

37
The kitten was not his mother.

Where is she?
42
Where could she be?
43
Then he came to a dog.

Are you my mother? he said to the dog.
45
I am not your mother.
46
I am a dog, said the dog.
47
The kitten was not his mother.
48
The hen was not his mother.
49
The dog was not his mother.
50
So the baby bird went on.
51
Now he came to a cow.
52
Are you my mother? he said to the cow.
53
How could I be your mother? said the cow.
54
I am a cow.
55
The kitten and the hen were not his mother.
56
The dog and the cow were not his mother.
57
Did he have a mother?
58
I did have a mother, said the baby bird.
59
I know I did.
60
I have to find her.
61
I will.
62
I will!
63
Now the baby bird did not walk.
64
He ran.
65
Then he saw a car.
66
Could that old thing be his mother?
67
No, it could not.
68
The baby bird did not stop.
69

71
He saw a boat.
72
There she is, said the baby bird.
73

74
The boat went on.
75
He looked way, way up.
76
He saw a big plane.
77
Here I am, Mother! he called out.
78

84
He ran right up to it.
85
Mother!

87
Here I am, Mother! he said to the big thing.
88
But the big thing just said, snort.
89
Oh, you are not my mother, said the baby bird.
90
You are a snort.
91
I have to get out of here.
92
But the baby bird could not get away.
93
The snort went up.
94
It went way, way up.
95
And up, up, up, went the baby bird.
96
But now, where was the snort going?
97
Oh, oh, oh!
98
What is this snort going to do to me?
99
Get me out of here!
100
Just then, the snort came to a stop.
101
Where am I? said the baby bird.
102
I want to go home!
103
I want my mother!
104
Then something happened.
105
The snort put that baby bird right back in the tree.

The baby bird was home.
107
Just then, the mother bird came back to the tree.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
