    とても、難しい問題です＾＾
    以前、ＮＨＫの動物番組で野生の七面鳥のことを放送していたような気が・・・記憶があっていれば、落葉樹の中に卵を産み腐葉土ができる過程で熱が発生して、その熱を利用してふ化させ、親鳥があまり面倒を見なくても直ぐに、飛び立つ（ちょっとだけ、飛べる）だけに大きく成長して産まれてくるような・・・賢いと思ったんですが。

    Thanksgiving になるとApril shower,May flower,June bride という言葉を思い出します。また最初の移民船の名前がMayflower号で辿り着いた街で開拓を始めニューイングランドという街を作り厳しい冬を乗り越え収穫祭を農業を指導してくれた先住民達と祝った そして4月の雨があり5月の花があり素晴らしい季節の6月に結婚し収穫の秋を迎える いいですね!!
