In the bright moonlight, Jack is walking home. Suddenly, he finds a hawk (鹰) lying beside a box. Very curious, he begins to check it.
皎洁的月光下，杰克走在回家的路上。突然，他发现一只鹰趴在一个盒子旁边。他非常好奇，便开始查看。
The hawk seems to be in pain. One of its wings looks broken, touching the ground. Its eyes look scared. So Jack takes off his T-shirt and wraps (包裹) it carefully round the hawk. Then he carries it home.
这只鹰似乎很痛苦。它的一只翅膀看起来折断了，碰到了地面。它的眼睛看起来很害怕。于是，杰克脱下自己的 T 恤，小心翼翼地包裹住鹰。然后把它抱回家。
“I can’t take him into the house,” he thinks. “My mum doesn’t like animals in the house!”
“他想，”我不能把它带回家。“我妈妈不喜欢家里有动物！”
Thinking for a while, Jack decides to hide the hawk in the garden shed (棚子). He secretly puts the hawk down on the floor with his T-shirt. Looking at the hawk, he says, “It’s your home now. Call you Falco, OK?”
想了一会儿，杰克决定把鹰藏在花园的棚子里。他偷偷地把鹰和他的 T 恤一起放在地板上。看着小鹰，他说：“现在这是你的家了。叫你法尔科，好吗？”
After that, he goes back to his room. Unluckily, his parents are waiting for him. Finding his T-shirt missing, they get quite angry and don’t allow him to go out within a week. Jack goes to his room without any words, but he can’t fall asleep because he is worrying about Falco.
说完，他就回到了自己的房间。不巧的是，他的父母正在等他。发现他的 T 恤不见了，他们非常生气，一周内不允许他出门。杰克无话可说地回到了自己的房间，但因为担心法尔科，他怎么也睡不着。
In the early morning, Jack takes some bread to feed Falco and goes back to his room secretly. After breakfast, Jack goes to the garden shed, holding a small bowl of water.
清晨，杰克拿了一些面包喂法尔科，然后偷偷地回到自己的房间。吃完早饭，杰克端着一小碗水来到花园的棚子里。
In the shed, he finds Falco sitting quietly in a corner, the bread still on the floor. Falco’s eyes are open, but not bright now. Jack puts the water in front of Falco. At first, Falco ignores (忽视) it, then he begins to drink. Jack sits quietly, looking at him, imagining Falco flying in the endless blue sky. But now he is trapped on the earth. “How can I help you return to the sky, Falco?”
在棚子里，他发现法尔科安静地坐在角落里，面包还在地上。法尔科的眼睛睁开了，但并不明亮。杰克把水放在法尔科面前。起初，法尔科没有理会，后来它开始喝水。杰克静静地坐着，看着他，想象着法尔科在一望无际的蓝天上飞翔。但现在，他被困在了地球上。“我该怎么帮你飞回天空，法尔科？”
When Jack leaves the shed, his brother Jim is waiting for him outside.
当杰克离开小屋时，他的弟弟吉姆正在外面等他。
“What’s so interesting in the shed?”
“棚子里有什么好玩的？”
“Nothing.”
“没什么。”
“Tell me the truth, Jack. I think you haven’t forgotten my broken rocket!”
“跟我说实话，杰克，我想你还没忘记我的破火箭！”
Finally, Jack has no choice but to tell his brother the truth. Jim becomes very excited.
最后，杰克别无选择，只好把真相告诉了哥哥。吉姆变得非常激动。
“Jim, please don’t say anything to Mum and Dad. I can repair your rocket.”
“吉姆，请不要对爸爸妈妈说。我能修好你的火箭。”
“My rocket isn’t important, Jack. But Falco is!”
“我的火箭不重要，杰克。但法尔科很重要！”
Then the brothers discuss how to feed Falco. They decide to get help from their friend Holly because she knows a lot about animals, birds and nature. Later, the brothers go to Holly. Holly advises them to feed some meat to Falco.
然后兄弟俩讨论如何喂养法尔科。他们决定找朋友霍莉帮忙，因为她对动物、鸟类和大自然很了解。后来，兄弟俩去找霍莉。霍莉建议他们给法尔科喂些肉。
Over the next few days, Falco gets much better. He always eats the meat Jack and Jim bring him from the kitchen. Jack even digs up worms in the park for Falco. Falco loves them! His feathers look bright and shiny, too. But he still can’t fly.
接下来的几天里，法尔科的病好了很多。它总是吃杰克和吉姆从厨房给它带回来的肉。杰克甚至还在公园里挖虫子给法尔科吃。法尔科很喜欢吃！它的羽毛也变得又亮又光。但是它还是不会飞。
One morning, Holly comes to see Falco. After watching it for a while, Holly says, “Falco is well enough to fly again!” Hearing this, they happily open the door, and watch Falco step into the sunlight slowly. Falco beats his wings and tries to fly in small circles, then in large ones. Suddenly, he makes a loud cry and flies away. Jack feels a bit sad, but he knows they are right.
一天早上，霍莉来看法尔科。看了一会儿，霍莉说：“法尔科又能飞了！” 听了这话，它们高兴地打开门，看着法尔科慢慢地走到阳光下。法尔科拍打着翅膀，试着飞了一小圈，又飞了一大圈。突然，它发出一声响亮的叫声，飞走了。杰克有点难过，但他知道他们是对的。
One evening, Jack and Jim are sitting in their room. It is a cool and quiet evening. Suddenly, he hears a cry from far away. A familiar (熟悉的) cry. A bird is flying in circles across the sky. It’s Falco! Jack watches it fly, happy and wild.
一天晚上，杰克和吉姆坐在房间里。这是一个凉爽而宁静的夜晚。突然，他听到远处传来一阵哭声。熟悉的叫声。一只鸟在天空中转圈飞行。是法尔科！杰克看着它飞翔，快乐而狂野。
