Some birds have great deal Of humor
in them, particularly the raven. One that
belonged TO me was the most miscbieyous
and amusing creature ever met with. He
would get into the flower garden, 90 to the
beds where the gardner had sowed ii crea,
variety OF ofseeds,with sticks put in the ground

SELF with pulling up every stick, and laying
them IN heaps ten or twelve on the path

raven knew that he ought no, to do it, or he
would not have done it. He would soon
return to his mischief, and when the gard :
ner again chased him. (thc old man could
