家长的心愿 Parents' Wish

观鸟的故事似乎到此已经结束，因为经过三天紧张地观鸟活动，同学们已经安全地回到了家人的怀抱。难道故事还没有完？

The story about bird watching activity seems stop because young pupils had been back to their parents safely after they spent three days at Lashihai Plateau's Wetland Nature Reserve. Didn't the story end?

一天，我遇见了一对母女，女儿参加了这次的观鸟活动。这位同学的妈妈告诉我，她看过《活动手册》，不相信日程里列出的活动内容在短暂的三天内能够完成。据说，很多组织者以各种名目组织学生活动，天花乱坠地向家长许了一大堆愿，等孩子回家一问，方知其中许多活动名目是空头支票。这位母亲激动地告诉我，她的女儿回到家后的一个星期里，总在跟她谈论观鸟的所见所闻，并且还请求她当老师的妈妈不要在班上照顾她，让她能够在平等的情况下与别的同学相互竞赛。说到孩子出去三天竟像变了一个人似的，这位母亲的脸上露出了满意的神情。当我与这对母女告别后，我的疑问仍然没有得到全部解答，故事仿佛还在延伸。

I met a mother and her daughter one day. Her daughter joined the Winter Camp for bird watching. The mother told me that she read through the Manual of Activity. And suspected the truth of the items listed in the programme, because she heard lots of stories about some organizers, who taking oaths before parents. As soon as children were in their hands, they didn't keep their words any more. The mother said excitedly that her daughter discussed everything she saw at bird watching for a week since her return. She begged her mother (who is a teacher of her daughter's class) to let her compete with other classmates fairly instead of taking care of her during class. Mentioning the great change of her daughter within three days, the mother couldn't hide from me her satisfactory. When I said good-bye to the mother and her daughter, my thought continues, and I believe the story seems no end.

在省少工委，同样的故事还有很多，都是讲述孩子们被选上参加观鸟冬令营时，兴奋和激动就一直围绕着他们，以致于最后连大人们也跟着孩子们紧张起来，为他们筹备这叮嘱那，都期望着孩子能够乘兴而去，满载而归。

Many such stories happened on the Provincial Juvenile Working Committee, too. When children who were elected as members of the Winter Camp for bird watching, the excitement followed them since then, so that their parents were eventually stirred up and began to give their hands and exhorted to them, hoping they have a save leave and a sound return.
