迷路鸚鵡找員警「報案」

Lost Parrot Asks for Help from Policeman

Parrots (鸚鵡) are smart animals.

And one parrot saved itself with its smarts (智力).

A policeman was out on the streets in Kaohsiung.

He was helping people in a car accident (處理車禍).

Suddenly, he felt something strange on his shoulder.

It was a parrot!

The blue, orange, and green bird flew down from the sky… and landed on the officer's shoulder.

這隻鸚鵡突然飛來，降落在員警的肩膀上。

The officer looked around, but saw that the parrot was alone.

So he took it to a police station.

At the station, the policemen took a closer look at the parrot.

They found out it was a rainbow lorikeet (吸蜜鸚鵡).

Rainbow lorikeets are a species of parrot found in Australia.

They said the parrot was very well-behaved (很乖).

It stayed with the police officer.

It did not try to fly away.

And, it even showed its leg to the police.

It had a metal band on its leg, which had a phone number on it.

這隻鸚鵡還「伸腳」讓員警查看牠的腳環。

The police quickly found the parrot's owner.

The owner said the parrot flew away from home.

And the owner had been very worried!

He was very thankful that the police helped him find his pet.

機器人廚師端出美食

Robot Chefs Cook Up Delicious Food

Have you eaten out at a restaurant before?

It's fun to try foods that are cooked by a professional chef (專業的廚師).

But what if the chef isn't human?

A restaurant in Croatia offers food that's made… by robots!

The restaurant is called the "BOTS & POTS".

All the food at the restaurant is made by robot chefs.

The robots can make around 70 different foods, including pasta, risotto, and more.

The foods come in a pot.

First, humans add fresh ingredients.

Then, the robots cook the food, and add oil and seasoning.

餐廳的員工負責把新鮮的食材加入，接下來機器人會加油和香料，並做出一鍋香噴噴的料理。

There are five robot chefs at the restaurant.

Together, they can make almost 100 meals in an hour.

And they only need one human to help.

The restaurant owners say this makes it easier to run a restaurant.

They say they had this idea seven years ago.

But it took a long time to get the restaurant ready to open.

The owners say they believe it's the only restaurant in the world where meals are made in a pot by robot chefs.

英國音樂劇大師為英王加冕典禮作曲

Andrew Lloyd Webber to Compose King Charles' Coronation Music

The UK is getting ready for King Charles' coronation.

A coronation (加冕典禮) is a special event where someone becomes king or queen.

During a coronation ceremony, a crown (皇冠) is usually put on the person's head.

King Charles III became the King when his mother Elizabeth II passed away in September last year.

And his coronation will happen on May 6th.

英國白金漢宮宣布，查爾斯三世的加冕典禮，將於5月6至8日舉行。

Music is an important part of a coronation.

And King Charles has chosen all of the music.

Some of the music will come from classical composers like George Handel.

And 12 pieces of music for the coronation will be new.

One of these new pieces of music will come from famous composer Andrew Lloyd Webber (安德魯洛伊韋伯).

You might not know his name…

But you've probably heard his music.

He composed some of the music in famous musicals like "Phantom of the Opera"…

And "Cats"…

For the king's coronation, Andrew Lloyd Webber wants the music to be "joyful".
