"Well, my children, -  Father said,  -you're all grown up now, you should learn to fly!"
They all opened their wings and made their first flight.
But Little Sparrow couldn't fly, no matter how hard she tried.

“さあ､子供たち”, お父さんは言った｡ “みんな大きくなったから飛ぶ練習をしよう！”そう言ったと同時に､お父さんは小さなすずめとそのお兄ちゃんとお姉ちゃんを巣から押し出した｡
みんな翼を広げ､初飛行した。
ところが､小さなすずめは飛べない。どんなに頑張っても飛べない。

So she found herself sitting on the pavement of 7th Ave in New York City. Little Sparrow saw her father in the tree and she called him. He paid her no attention, because she was as good as dead to him now. Then a human girl found her and asked her to come and live with her. Little Sparrow thought about it for a minute and agreed. So that's how Little Sparrow starts to live with Girl.

気が付いたら､ニューヨークの七番街の舗道にいた。小さなすずめは､木の上にいるお父さんを呼んだ。 お父さんは目も向けてくれなかった。なぜなら､彼にとって､今となっては彼女は死んだのも同様だから。その時､人間の女の子がやって来て､一緒に暮らさないかと言った。小さなすずめはしばらく考えたあと､さそいを受ける事にした。こうして､小さなすずめは女の子と暮らしはじめた。

Girl gave her a house to live in and as much food as the sparrow could eat.
And also Little Sparrow was given a name - Varvara.
Little Sparrow liked Baby food very-very much!
She also didn't mind a new name.

女の子はすずめに部屋といっぱいの餌を与えた。
そして､小さなすずめはバレチカという名前をもらった。
小さなすずめはベビーフードが大好きだ。
新しい名前も気に入った。

Every morning Varvara starts with a song and a nice breakfast..
Varvara likes to eat lettuce very much!
.... and sometimes she prefers to snack on sunflower seeds, she can eat 3 or 4 at a time!
Girl has to pull skins off for Sparrow.

バレチカの朝は､歌とおいしい朝食で始まる。
バレチカはレタスが大好物。
時には､ヒマワリの種も好き。一度に３個も４個も食べる。
女の子がカラをとってあげる。

Every morning after a healthy breakfast Varvara exercises with weights - she throws music CDs around. She weighs very little, so if she were human, she would be throwing sewer lids. And of course every day Varvara practices her flying skills. She even can do "dead loops" and swoops! Although she preffers hopping and jumping. She's a real master at sharp U- turns!

毎朝､ヘルシーな朝食の後､バレチカはミュージックＣＤを投げて､重量上げの練習をする。
バレチカは毎日､飛行訓練も欠かさない。
空中で一回転や急降下も出来る!  でも､ホップやジャンプの方が得意だけど､､､ 急カーブの名人でもある。

Varvara has a lot of toys to play with:
She has a blinders string to pull at...

...she has a small bamboo tree to tag at...

バレチカは遊ぶものがいっぱいある。
ブラインドのひもを引っ張ったり､､､
小さな竹の葉を 突っついたり､､､

Sparrow can have the greatest fun of all and run around with flowing toilet paper.

一番の楽しみは､ひらひらと飛ぶトイレットペーパーのあとを追っかけること。

She also likes to sing along with radio.
Little Sparrow loves hard rock very much!

ラジオと一緒に歌うのも大好き。
小さなすずめはハードロックが大のお気に入り！

Sometimes The Bird remebers her old home
and tries to build a nest from whatever she can find.

時々､鳥という事を思い出し､ その辺にある物で巣作りを始める

Varvara is also a  Brave bird.
She is not afraid of anyone and will attack human Giants or Big Dogs if she thinks that they come way too close to her plate!

バレチカは勇敢な鳥である。

Although Varvara is a Magnificent Bird, she has her ups and downs too. There are gloomy days when Varvara wakes up in a bad mood, looks at herself in the mirror and thinks "Oh what an annoying bird sits there and stares at me!"
And she pecks that bird in the mirror.
Also Varvara doesn't like to cut her nails. They can grow very big and very scary!

バレチカは偉大な鳥だが､時には気分が弾まない日もあ。
朝起きて気分の晴れない日は､自分を鏡で見て“なんてめざわりな鳥がそこに座ってこっちを見てる”と思ったりもする。
そして､鏡の中の鳥を突っつく。
バレチカは爪切りが嫌い。
とても長くのびて､こわいくらいになる時がある。

Little Sparrow  absolutely opposes taking a bath.
She'd rather have a  swim in a fluffy comforter.

小さなすずめは水浴びがどうしても好きになれない。
フカフカの布団に飛び込む方がずっとまし。

When she's tired, she can take a nap.  Varvara can find a cozy place to cuddle absolutely anywhere - on a soft carpet or in her rock garden.
At the end of the day, when the daylight dies out, she goes to her favourite sleeping place behind the tv. No one knows what she dreams of.

疲れた時は昼寝をする。
バレチカは居心地のいい所をどこにでも見つけ出す。やわらかいカーペットの上とか彼女のロックガーデンの中とか。
一日の終わり､お日さまが沈む時､彼女はテレビのうしろのお気に入りの寝床に。
