Do not bird, said who bird magpie. The beginning of knowledge. When people grow up, they will not be different from each other. When they mix up one after another, they will raise their spirits and bend over them. It's a little sad to feel that there is no light and dark at first. When she was a baby feeding female, her family said: her son is still there, crawling to look at her, her two chicks peering at her, guarding her mother's feathers, stopping to eat with sorrow. The beginning of sorrow. Crawling under the wall, get things that Yi, hold and suck it. My family said to me: Shi Ye. There are characters on it.
