A pair of storm-driven nightingales had now found the island and mated there; their wonderful notes thrilled even the souls of the natives; and as dusk fell upon the seabound strip of land the women and children would come to "the square" and listen to the evening notes of the birds of golden song. The two nightingales soon grew into a colony, and within a few years so rich was the island in its nightingales that over to the Dutch coast and throughout the land and into other countries spread the fame of "The Island of Nightingales."

白话
一对被风暴驱赶的夜莺来到岛上定居配对,它们的歌声美妙得连当地人的心都被打动。黄昏时分,妇女和孩子会聚到广场上听这些金色歌鸟的晚唱。夜莺很快繁殖成群落,几年间岛上夜莺多得出名,名声传到荷兰海岸、全国乃至其他国家,人们称这里为“夜莺之岛”。这说明一个偶然的契机能带来意想不到的繁荣,关键是要有适合的环境让美好事物自然生长。
