山姆·林德赛老头儿退休多年了。他和他的老伴儿伯丽一直住在这座久经风雨的老房子里。从他们结婚到现在,许多年过去了,他们一直没搬过家。山姆的最大乐趣是养鸡。他养了六只鸡,给每只都取了个名儿,每天他都花好长时间欣赏他的鸡。他说,这些鸡能听懂他的话。每当他和伯丽拌嘴时,他会一跺脚到后院去找他的鸡,嘴里咕哝着:“我的鸡说什么也不会冲我唠唠叨叨!” Sam Lindsey old man retired for many years. He and his wife, Burley, have lived in this old, time-honored house. Many years have passed since they were married and they have not moved home. Sam’s biggest fun is raising chickens. He raised six chickens and gave each one a nickname. Every day he spent a long time admiring his chicken. He said these chickens can understand him. Whenever he talks to Buri, he goes to the backyard and goes to his chicken, mumbled: “My chickens say nothing to me!”
