Rodney read the headline in the local newspaper,“ Flamingo Flocks to

South ".A rare bird had found its way to his small California town.It was a
flamingo,the report said,a real one-not like the plastic(塑料的)one planted
![ img ]in Rodney's neighbour's yard.The town didn't even have a zoo,so thi is news
was really exciting.But where was the bird?
Only one man in town claimed(声称)to have seen the wild bird,in a
wetland park of town.He described the flamingo's pink feathers and said it stood about 3 feet
tall.He also said the flamingo did not seem sick or hurt.
Rodney thought the story sounded suspicious(怀疑的),so he decided to go on a flamingo-
finding adventure.He also decided to take his best friend,Paul,with him.“ If we find it,”
Rodney said,“ we can write a report on protecting wild animals.” The boys took their boots,
binoculars,and a camera.They packed some peanut butter sandwiches too.Then they set out
for the wetlands with great excitement.
The weather,however,had other plans.The dirt road was muddy because of the rain.With
their boots sinking deep into the mud,reaching almost to their knees,Rodney and Paul trudged
(费力地走)through mud and many water plants.They searched carefully for quite a long time
and they were all tired,but they never found the flamingo.Finally,the sun began to set,and a
cold wind cut through the boys' jackets and they had nothing left to eat.Rodney and Paul had no
choice but to go back home..
As they turned onto Paul ’ s dark street,Paul's mum was waiting outside,looking worried.
Paul dragged his feet up the driveway slowly.His mother put her arm on his shoulder,and then
the two went inside.
Rodney continued down the street towards his house,past his neighbour's yard and that
plastic pink flamingo.“ Great,” Rodney thought,“ now they have a pair."__ ut of the corner of
his eye,Rodney saw something move.
