　　Nightingale

　　A long time ago in China there lived an emperor. The emperor loved to read books. One day， in the book he was reading， it wrote， “The most beautiful precious treasure is the bird nightingale.”

　　The emperor had never seen or heard of nightingale. “What is nightingale？” No one has ever seen or heard of it.

　　The emperor was very curious as to what nightingale was. “Bring nightingale to me at once”. The servants were worried by the emperor‘s command. They looked here and there.

　　One day a little girl said that she knew of nightingale. She said that the bird she had was nightingale. It was a small cute bird. At once nightingale was brought to the emperor.

　　The emperor was very happy. “Ah ~ is this bird called nightingale？” For the first time in his life， he heard the beautiful voice and was impressed and deeply moved.
