In
2000, when I was around seven years old, all my family were coming back from a
Tball game, which was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other
weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway – two adult geese and a
small goose. Obviously startled by our return, the adults flew away in panic,
with their baby, too young to fly, left in place, tiny and delicate.
Hours
passed one after another, and night eventually fell. However, with it also came
a deep chill and a fear of watchful animals. It was apparent that the gosling
needed protection, warmth, and food to make it to the morning, so we had to
help it, and we brought him onto our back yard.
We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to drive the goose away to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn't go to them, though, and neither would they come close enough to claim him. We kept this up for five days, but no luck. Realizing the young goose had clearly decided we were his family by then, we had to give him a name, calling the little guy Peeper, because he would often follow us around the yard making a peeping (唧唧叫) noise, nonstop. Besides, we decided that Peeper was a boy. I don't know why; it just felt right.
A
year passed and we settled into a routine. Peeper slept on our back yard each
night and, in typical goose fashion, used it as a latrine (公共厕所). My dad would spray off all the goose droppings
daily. Part of this ceremony included Dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he
could flap its wings and flew a loop (圈) around the house, and then came back again once the
porch was clean.
Days
turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months.

答案:Before we knew it, the little thing had grown into a big bird with two powerful wings. One day, when Dad threw Peeper into the air, he just flew away and didn't come back. With night falling, all of us became increasingly worried. We looked for him, called his name, and even peeped like him, anxiously expecting his return. But the special buddy never appeared again. Suddenly losing the special companion, everyone was very, very sad. It took a long time before we accepted the fact that he was missing. Meanwhile, we could only pray he found his parents and went off on his natural way. Twenty years passed, and Peeper became a fond memory for my family. It came as a total surprise to me when, in 2019, an adult goose made his way back to my family home. He did all of the same things Peeper used to do in Peeper's old ways, and much to my surprise, he even responded to the name Peeper. It became clear to me that my old best friend had returned, 20 years later. This experience has been as meaningful to me as anything in my life. Looking beyond our reach high in the sky, birds have feelings like human beings, so do many other living things. We human beings should learn to get along well with them. We need each other's care and protection.
