a stork had made It's nest upon their

they hailed the newcomer with favor,
as storks are supposed TO bring luck

az the thought Of losing their pet. but
their parents consoled them with the
assurance that the bird would surely
return the next spring. The children,
still uneasy az the idea Of the stork
not being cared for through the long
winter. consulted together and evolved
brilliant Idea. which they immedl-
ately proceeded 10 put into execution.
They wrote note Ia their best Ger
man script. stating that the stork was
very dear TO them and begged the good
people In whose country Il might spend
