"Why, aren't we all aware, you'll never see a swallow in the air till spring insight!

“谁不知道只有到了春天,天空才会出现燕子呢,”浪子想，

So now,"thinks prodigal,"my fur is useless quite. Why wrap oneself in furs?

“所以，现在我的皮大衣没用了，为何还要紧裹着它呢?

It is now the first spring breezes. To Nature's waking realm bring everything that pleases, and to the silent North the banished Frost takes wing."

But when she arrived home and opened the basket, it was full of stones.

但是，当她回家打开一看，里面全是石头。
