TE BIRDS STORY.

 

Don’t you think I am a handsome bird?
My feathers are dark green and black, and
very glossy. I live in a hot country,
where beautiful flowers and nice fruits
grow. There are great tall trees, and the
vines stretching from one to the other make
nice swings for the monkeys and _ parrots.
‘They have merry times chasing each other
around. ‘The monkeys can.climb very fast,
but as the parrots have wings, they gener-
ally get the best of it.

Our home is on some islands in the sea,
very far away from where you live. If your
papa would take you there, you would see
many pretty sights. There are our beauti-
ful islands, with the waves dashing high
into the air against the rocks on the coast;
and on the islands you would see bright
flowers, and tall trees with cocoanuts grow-
ing on them, and bananas, too.
