As a young boy, I enjoyed listening to my father telling his childhood stories. The picture of him and his friends climbing to the top of a tree to look at a bird's nest(巢)stayed in my mind for quite a while. I dreamed of looking at a bird's nest that had eggs or small baby birds inside like my father did when he was a boy.
But that was almost impossible.
First, youngsters today are not allowed to climb trees. People think it's too dangerous. Second, we don't have so many birds' nests around anymore.
However, early one spring day, my dream came true.
It was a Saturday morning. My dad's best friend, who I call Uncle Ben, invited us to visit his business. He sold used cars at his shop outside the city. It was a large parking lot.
Uncle Ben led us through the parking lot, pointing out all kinds of different cars. As we walked across the lot, we suddenly found something unusual—a bird's nest on the back wheel of a car!
I was excited to be so close. I looked at the nest in amazement. It was real—a real bird's nest with four eggs sitting inside.
Uncle Ben took a look at the eggs. He said it was a robin's nest. To protect the nest from being destroyed (破坏),he suggested that we move it to a tree beside the parking lot. We all hoped that the robin would find her new home and her baby birds.
