Chapter 8 Little Swallow Jiji

The little swallow Jiji flew a long, long way before he found a tree, an apple tree, on a bare hillside.Jiji was tired, thirsty, and hungry. There was only one tree in such a long way.After he settled down, he searched for a long time among the sparse leaves, only to find a red apple.Oh, what a precious apple it is.The apple is red and dangles in the breeze.Suddenly, the little swallow Jiji found that the apple was crying, and made a soft cry. "Huh? What's the matter with you?" Little Swallow Jiji asked Red Apple. "I, my stomach hurts. Ouch, it hurts!" Red Apple sweated in pain.Little Swallow was very anxious, he hurriedly said: "Red Apple, wait a moment, I will go to the woodpecker doctor right away." Regardless of his fatigue, he spread his wings and flew away.

The little swallow flew a long way, and finally found the woodpecker doctor in a small forest. "Doctor Woodpecker! Doctor Woodpecker! Red Apple is sick, go and see her." The woodpecker was treating a tree. He stopped, asked about the condition of the red apple, thought for a while and said, "I'm really sorry, the disease of the red apple is too serious, and I can't cure it anymore." The little swallow Jiji heard this, so she had to find the owl who lived in a big tree.The owl said: "I can only move at night, and I can't see the road during the day. And, besides, I don't know how to heal."

Little Swallow Jiji was very disappointed, she couldn't get a doctor, and she was thinking about Red Apple, so she turned her head and flew back. When he landed on the apple tree again, he found that the red apple was crying, and a small hole had appeared in her stomach.Little Swallow Jiji watched anxiously.It's so strange, the hole in the red apple's stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly, a green worm wearing a red hat comes out of it.Jiji was very angry, and reprimanded: "It turns out that you, a pest, are bullying the red apple!" Then she pecked the insect with her mouth.The big green worm was very clever, and shrank back into the hole all of a sudden.

Red Apple was in so much pain that she had no strength to cry, and her voice became smaller and smaller. The little swallow Jiji stood beside her and kept comforting her: "Red Apple, bear with me, as soon as that big bug comes out, I will peck him to death and eat him!" Gigi wait, wait.He has been guarding the hole.Suddenly, a butterfly flew out of the cave, and flew towards a cluster of small wild flowers on the far hillside.Little Yanzi Jiji was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that it was the big green worm.So he flicked his wings and chased down the hillside.

Seeing the swallow Jiji chasing after her, Huadie cried out in panic: "Oh, how beautiful I am, I am embellishing life, don't eat me!" "Bah! It was you who killed the apple girl, no matter how beautiful you are, you are still a pest!" Gigi said, swooping down and swallowing the butterfly into her stomach. After the butterfly was wiped out, the little swallow Jiji flew back again. He wanted to see if the red apple was ready. However, he went around the apple tree five times, but he couldn't find it.In the end, she was found on the ground.The only apple was rotten and lay motionless on the ground.Little Swallow was so sad that his tears fell on the rotten apples.At this time, Rotten Apple cheered up and said: "Good-hearted Swallow, I am about to die, please plant the seeds in my stomach on the hillside. They are my children, you must take good care of them..."

With great grief, the little swallow Jiji pecked out the seeds from the apple's stomach one by one according to Apple's instructions, and then planted them on the hillside one by one. He invited Uncle Feng to cover the seeds with soil; he invited Granny Yu to water the seeds; he begged Grandpa Sun to warm the earth... Soon, the apple seeds on the hillside germinated, and each plant grew. Seedlings of small apple trees.Under the careful care of the little swallow Jiji, the apple saplings grew taller and taller, and soon the place became an apple orchard.Little Swallow Jiji also invited a woodpecker doctor to prevent diseases in the orchard, and an owl to defend the orchard.

Later, the apple trees in this apple orchard were all full of big red apples.The red apples all nodded and laughed at Little Swallow Jiji.As for Jiji, I invite all kinds of birds, my former good friends, and let them live together in this happy orchard and live a happy life.
