I just learnt something about flamingos火烈鸟. 1. Every year, when the time comes for migration, a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to be interested. So the small group returns. However, the next day they try again. 2. However, most of them still don't notice that, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in. However, as thousands of the others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.
3. ______ The same small group of birds once again start flying and a few more join in just as before and then more. Finally, they all take off and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight景象 it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!
4. Even if you're the one to take the first step, keep trying and others will someday take notice and together we will work out even our greatest problems.
