hard all day long. whilst his mate sitting on

fell asleep directly. Now. 1t was a warm night

thin legs Of the nightingale whilst he slept. His
comrades came to awake him. and said: La

but he was so tired that he could not be awsk-
ened. At last morning dawned and then the
sleeper awoke. but only to find himself helpless
ly fettered by the tendrils OF the vine which had
grown so quickly that now they held him fast.
and he could not get away with all the fiutter-
ing Of his wings. Then his comrades saw him
die. and they said TO one another: We will sleep
more in the night long as the vine Is
growing. And ever since then they do nothing
but sing all night to keep themselves awake and
