leaves. aud in the corner MAS dear
little bed made of soft. young. green
buds. aud covered with little blanket
made of birds feathers.
Hans took OF the whole Of the r0ef.
and WAS very careful mot to let any dirt
fall on the floor. He then measured
the hole, and cut . green clover sod
just the right size. 6ttsd it in. with the
green part down. He then went back
to his work. and tried TO use his hoe
iDstead Of the rake. but he could not
make it do very we'll. 90 he became
msd ct Karl again.
