Check-check.
“Check-check”, said a tiny bird. “What check? ” I asked it and heard The bird repeat, “Check-check”. “Do you want to pay by cheque? ” Smiled I. But it kept on “Check-check”. I said, “What’s wrong? You needn’t pay: it’s free.” “Check-check” came from the tree, And suddenly I saw Tom freezing on the floor! This story is almost real. In my garden a family of white-throat warblers like training: the father and the mother control the two youngs that are very naïve and foolishly brave. So I often hear “Check-check”. This command turns into a very aggressive cry when one of many cats is somewhere near, and it is a picturesque show.
