小鳥重獲自由！

A Funny Wooden Puzzle

學弟奕軒，在這學期的進度報告完成後，給自己放了一個不長不短＜三個禮拜剛剛好＞的假，然後跟他的天鵝，一起飛去捷克，進行一場〔布拉格之戀〕！奕軒出門前，問有沒有要託他帶什麼？我說我想要拉線的小木偶。然後MSN上面的奕軒就此呈離線狀態。

Having finished the progress report of this semester, Yi-Hsiuan decided to have a break from laboratory. With his girl friend, they took the flight to Czech and had a wonderful time in Prague. Before departure, he asked me if I wished him to bring something from Czech. I told him I want a traditional wooden puppetry. Since that day, Yi-Hsiuan disappeared from lab and showed offline on MSN.

在實驗室像小蜜蜂一般忙碌開心的過日子，不知過了幾多天，奕軒又出現在MSN，還以為是收假回實驗室了，不料竟是他在布拉格街頭的實況傳真！被吊胃口，說他找到一個可愛的木製品，我一定會很愛的那一種！然後，因為天鵝在旁等他有一會兒了，為免多生事端，奕軒匆匆離線。

I had my life in lab as usual, being busy like a bee but happy. One day Yi-Hsiuan showed up on MSN again and sent a hello to me. How suprising! He was on a street in Prague using the wireless connection. He told me he didn't find the puppetry I wished but he found something made of wood and was sure I would love it very much~ My heart was soon filled by curiosity. For his girl friend had been aside waiting for a while, he left MSN after the short conversation.



The little bird cries: Help~~

約莫一個月前吧！奕軒回到台北，出現在實驗室繼續為論文努力。神秘的禮物就是這個小傢伙，從布拉格搭飛機來到我的手中；從此，我開始絞盡腦汁想把小鳥從籠子裡救出來～

Yi-Hsiuan had safely landed in Taipei for days, appeared in lab again and worked hard for his thesis. The mysterious present was this tiny stuff~a caged wooden bird! Since the day it was on my hands, my brain was engaged by the idea of how to set the little bird free~

總共花了兩週～快樂的小鳥，終於找到隨意進出鳥籠的方法！這期間，曾經被舶滄嘲笑地問：學姊，妳跟奕軒是不是有什麼過節？就連一向老實的忠哲也覺得：這個可能是整人玩具！

It took me two weeks to solve this puzzle. The tiny crying bird became a happy singing one! During the trial-and-error period, Bo-Tsang and Jhong-Jhei questioned and teased at the relationship between Yi-Hsiuan and me, since they thought this wooden puzzle is impossible to be solved! They said this must be a trick that Yi-Hsiuan wished to fool me :<


The last step to set the little bird free!

某天，麻吉學弟--小皓--到我家玩。就在他手上，小鳥簡簡單單地從籠子裡出來，打破所有關於我和奕軒感情不好的猜測！而且奕軒是對的～我真的很愛這個小東西。拐小孩的利器再添一件！

Yuan-Hua was the first person to set the little bird free. He went to my house for something else. We chatted at home and he had the wooden puzzle on hands and tried to solve it! Suddenly the little bird came out from the cage with his help and the rumor about Yi-Hsiuan's trick fell into ruin~By the way, Yi-Hsiuan was right! I love this tiny stuff very much, it is indeed a good toy to play with children!


The little bird sings: Freedom is priceless~

救出小鳥的關鍵角度和動作都在照片裡～下回借去玩的時候，請不要又想：拆了它的翅膀？還是破壞籠子？小鳥真的可以毫髮未傷地從籠子裡出來唷！
