Every August on the island of Heimaey,off the southern coast of Iceland(冰岛),young people often take a walk along the streets throughout the night. What's more,their parents allow them to stay out. Why? The children of Heimaey are going to save young puffins--small black-and-white seabirds.
The cliffs(悬崖)above the town are home to a large group of puffins. The birds dig holes all around the cliffs. These holes are their homes. Their young stay in the holes for about seven weeks. Then they begin to leave. Some move slowly on their undeveloped wings and feet down to the northern Atlantic Ocean that surrounds Heimaey. There,they swim, which they can do naturally,and learn to dive
for fish. Others, however, may lose their way at night and find themselves in the town instead. On the ground, the young seabirds are in trouble. Because their wings are not fully developed,they cannot take off quickly to sea and safety.The birds then become a good meal for cats and other animals.
For many years,islanders have helped the young puffins. Early at night in late August,children carrying thick paper boxes and lights hurry to the seashore to catch puffins.They spend most of the night running after the birds. They put the birds they've caught in boxes and take good care of them.
The next morning the children take the puffins to the ocean and set them free. The birds will live at sea until they are at least two years old.Then they will return to the cliffs to build homes of their own for their families.
