“I think crows are pests,” John said, biting into a crisp biscuit.
“I do too, but this one is rather rare,” I replied. “Its feathers are the color ofcrude oil. It has a crimson head. The pattern resembles a royal crown. It is probably a result of crossbreeding. I learned about crossbreeding when I read a critique of that famous book about bird-breeding. It was a very critical article.”
“We’ve been crisscrossing this crosscut forest for hours,” John said, wiping the sweat from his brow. “How are we supposed to find it?”
“There it is,” I replied. “It’s stuck in that crevice near that crooked tree. Call the rest of the rescue crew. We might need some help.”
Soon, there was crowd of rescuers around us. “This is a crucial moment,” I told everyone. “Be quiet.”
I crept towards the crevice. I cringed when I saw that a branch from a fallen tree hadcrippled the crow’s legs. It was suffering. This was a critical point in the mission. I called out for someone to hand me a metal tool to pry the branch away from the crow.
“Here, use this,” John said, as he handed me a crude looking metal bar.
It was a crucial moment. I used the bar to pry the fallen tree from the crevice and to pull the branch off the crow. “Whew, thank goodness for this tool,” I signed. “Hey, John, what do you call this metal bar?”
“It doesn’t have name,” John replied. “But perhaps from now on, we should call it scrowbar.”
“我认为乌鸦是有害动物。”约翰边说，便咬了一口脆饼干。
“我也这样认为，但我们要找的这种却是很稀罕，”我回答到，“它有原油色的羽毛，深红色的头。样式很像一个皇家王冠。它可能是杂交繁殖的结果。我是从阅读那本关于鸟类杂交的著作的评论开始懂得杂交知识的。那是篇很重要的文章。”
“我们已经来回往返横切森林好几个小时了，”约翰说着，擦了擦头上的汗水。“我们怎样才能找到它呢?”
“它在那。”我回答，“它夹在那棵弯树旁的裂缝里。去呼叫其他救援人员，我们可能需要一些帮助。”
不久，来了一群救援人员。“现在是紧要关头，”我对大家说，“要保持安静。”
我朝裂缝爬过去。来到眼前，当我发现原来是倒下的大树的树枝伤及乌鸦的双腿而致残的时候，我畏缩不
前了。它痛苦地挣扎这。这是救援任务的紧急关头。我叫别人递给我一个金属工具把树枝从乌鸦身上撬开。
“给，用这个。”约翰说着，递给我一个外观粗糙的金属棒。
决定性的时候到了。我用那根棒子把倒在地上的树从裂缝处撬起，把压在乌鸦身上的树枝拉走。乌鸦得救了。
“哇!多亏了这个棒子。”我长出了一口气，“嗨，约翰，这跟金属棒叫什么?”
“它没有名字，”约翰回答到，“但也许从现在开始，我们可以管他叫乌鸦棒，也就是撬棍的意思。”
