鸟    的    天    堂   

 我    们    吃    过    晚    饭   ,  热    气    已    经    退    了   。 太    阳    落    下    了    山    坡   ,  只    留    下    一    段    灿    烂    的    红    霞    在    天    边   
 我    们    走    过    一    段    石    子    路   , 很    快    就    到    了    河    边   。 在    河    边    大    树    下   , 我    们     发    现    了    几    只    小    船   
 我    们    陆    续    跳    上    一    只    船   。 一    个    朋    友    解    开    了    绳   , 拿    起    竹    竿    一    拨   , 船     缓    缓    地    动    了   , 向    河    中    心    移    去   
 河    面    很    宽   , 白    茫    茫    的    水    上    没    有    一    点    儿    波    浪   。 船    平    静    地    在    水    面    移     动   。 三    支    桨    有    规    律    地    在    水    里    划   , 那    声    音    就    像    一    支    乐    曲   
 在    一    个    地    方   , 河    面    变    窄    了   。 一    簇    簇    树    叶    伸    到    水    面    上   。 树    叶    真    绿    得    可    爱   。 那    是    许    多    株    茂    盛    的    榕    树   , 看    不    出    主    干    在    什    么    地    方   
 当    我    说    许    多    株    榕    树    的    时    候   , 朋    友    们    马    上    纠    正    我    的    错    误   。 一    个    朋    友    说    那    里    只    有    一    株    榕    树   , 另    一    个    朋    友    说    是    两    株   。 我    见    过    不    少    榕    树   , 这    样    大    的    还    是    第    一    次    看    见   
 我    们    的    船    渐    渐    逼    近    榕    树    了   。 我    有    机    会    看    清    它    的    真    面    目   , 真    是    一    株    大    树   , 枝    干    的    数    目    不    可    计    数   。 枝    上    又    生    根   , 有    许    多    根    直    垂    到    地    上   , 伸    进    泥    土    里   。 一    部    分    树    枝    垂    到    水    面   , 从    远    处    看   , 就    像    一    株    大    树    卧    在    水    面    上   
 榕    树    正    值    茂    盛    的    时    期   , 好    像    在    把    它    的    全    部    生    命    力    展    示    给    我    们    看   。 那    么    多    的    绿    叶   , 一    簇    堆    在    另    一    簇    上    面   , 不    留    一    点    儿    缝    隙   。 那    翠   
 绿    的    颜    色   , 明    亮    地    照    耀    着    我    们    的    眼    睛   , 似    乎    每    一    片    绿    叶    上    都    有    一    个     新    的    生    命    在    颤    动   。 这    美    丽    的    南    国    的    树   !
 船    在    树    下    泊    了    片    刻   。 岸    上    很    湿   , 我    们    没    有    上    去   。 朋    友    说    这    里    是    鸟    的    天    堂   , 有    许    多    鸟    在    这    树    上    做    巢   , 农    民    不    许    人    去    捉    它    们   。 我    仿    佛    听    见    几    只    鸟    扑    翅    的    声    音   , 等    我    注    意    去    看   , 却    不    见    一    只    鸟    的    影    子   。 只    有    无    数    的    树    根    立    在    地    上   , 像    许    多    根    木    桩   。 土    地    是    湿    的   , 大    概    涨    潮    的    时    候    河    水    会    冲    上    岸    去   。 鸟    的    天    堂    里    没    有    一    只    鸟   , 我    不    禁    这    样    想   。 于    是    船    开    了   , 一    个    朋    友    拨    着    桨   , 船    缓    缓    地    移    向    河    中    心   
 第    二    天   , 我    们    划    着    船    到    一    个    朋    友    的    家    乡    去   。 那    是    个    有    山    有    塔    的     地    方   。 从    学    校    出    发   , 我    们    又    经    过    那    鸟    的    天    堂   
 这    一    次    是    在    早    晨   。 阳    光    照    耀    在    水    面   , 在    树    梢   , 一    切    都    显    得    更    加     光    明    了   。 我    们    又    把    船    在    树    下    泊    了    片    刻   
 起    初    周    围    是    静    寂    的   。 后    来    忽    然    起    了    一    声    鸟    叫   。 我    们    把    手    一    拍   , 便    看    见    一    只    大    鸟    飞    了    起    来   。 接    着    又    看    见    第    二    只   , 第    三    只   。 我    们    继    续    拍    掌   , 树    上    就    变    得    热    闹    了   , 到    处    都    是    鸟    声   , 到    处    都    是    鸟    影   。 大    的   , 小    的   , 花    的   , 黑    的   , 有    的    站    在    树    枝    上    叫   , 有    的    飞    起    来   , 有    的    在    扑    翅    膀   
 我    注    意    地    看    着   , 眼    睛    应    接    不    暇   , 看    清    楚    了    这    只   , 又    错    过    了    那    只   , 看    见    了    那    只   , 另    一    只    又    飞    起    来    了   。 一    只    画    眉    飞    了    出    来   , 被    我    们    的    掌    声    一    吓   , 又    飞    进    了    叶    丛   , 站    在    一    根    小    枝    上    兴    奋    地    叫    着   , 那    歌    声    真    好    听   
 当    小    船    向    着    高    塔    下    面    的    乡    村    划    去    的    时    候   , 我    回    头    看    那    被    抛    在    后    面    的    茂    盛    的    榕    树   。 我    感    到    一    点    儿    留    恋   。 昨    天    是    我    的    眼    睛    骗    了    我   , 那    鸟    的    天    堂    的    确    是    鸟    的    天    堂    啊   !
