The campus in winter is relatively boring; But as long as it snows, it will be much more lively. Making a snowman and having a snowball fight requires a lot of people to participate. This is a campus, and there are many classmates, so there are many people playing. I don't like running around and making noise, so I have to catch birds. Shallow snow is not enough. It takes a day or two to cover the ground with snow. The birds have already lost their heads because of hunger, and they don't know when the southeast and northwest are good. Sweep away a piece of snow, expose the ground, use a short branch to hold up a big washbasin, sprinkle some bird food under it, tie a long rope on the branch, and people will hold it at a distance to watch the birds come down to eat. When they reach the bottom of the basin, they will pull the rope and cover it. But there are many sparrows and some magpies caught, but they are too big, and sometimes they will knock over the washbasin and fly away, so they can't catch it.

This is the method I learned from the textbook, but I'm not good at it. Maybe I'm stupid. Obviously, I saw them go in, pulled the rope and ran to have a look. There was only bird droppings, and it took a long time to catch a few. However, my older brother, who is higher than my grade, can catch a few after class and hide them in his coat pocket for fear of being caught by the teacher. As a result, I was caught by the teacher, educated and warned us to protect the birds. I once asked him how he was caught by the teacher. Aren't you good at pretending? He only smiled gloomily: I didn't catch birds, I was lonely.
