Canada Geese(鵝)are large blue and white birds. When autumn comes, they have to go to the south where the weather is warmer. The winters are so cold in Canada that the birds will die if they stay there. Here's a story about some Canada Geese.

Bill Lishman is a farmer who loves birds. Last spring, he found sixteen young Canada Geese on his farm. They had lost their parents. Bill thought, "These young birds won't know what to do in autumn. I will do something to help them.” He had a small plane and he decided to teach them to follow him. Last summer, he went on short trips in his plane and the young geese flew after him. When it became cold in autumn, Bill flew to Virginia(弗吉尼亞)in the United States, 600 miles south of his home in Canada. The geese followed him all the way. Bill left the geese in Virginia and returned home.

This spring, Bill was waiting for the birds to come back. They didn't arrive, so Bill flew to Virginia to get them. He looked for them for two weeks but he couldn't find them. So he had to fly home. To his surprise, when he arrived back home, Bill found the geese waiting for him. They had found their way home without him!
