A Tived Boy, 129

“The litde girl looked about in
all directions to make out where the
cry came from; and soon, peeping
up into the thick branches, she spied
something that looked like a nest ;
and sitting on it was the bird that
made that cry. It went on making
it still, opening its beak very wide,
and looking so frightened and un-
happy, that she was sure something
was the matter.

What couldsst) ber od he ‘bind,
which, she was sure, was the father
or mother one, was looking down on
the ground, as if there was some-
thing terrible to be seen there; and
yet it did not leave the nest and fly
away.
