Four Downy Birds.

Once when was a very little bird my
parents left my little sister, brother
and myself at home while they went to
find us something to eat. While they
were gone a large cat came up to our nest
and caught my little sister and ate her.
Just then my parents returned and they
were very much grieved over the loss of
my little sister.
I stayed at home with my parents until
was strong enough to fly then one day
left the nest and few until came to a
large tree where sat another little SPAR
row. I thought he was the most beauti
full sparrow had ever seen. I alighted
on bough near BY. and we talked and
chatted for long time. Then we parted.
but only long enough to look for sticks
and strings to build OUR nest. Not many
days had passed before four little eggs
lay in the warm nest. Soon there we're
four little downy birds, and then we were
all happy The grass was green, the flow
ers blooming and everything looked so
beautiful, till. one by one. all of our
darling babies few away and we were left
alone. Then the sun did not seem to shine
so brightly; the nights became longer and
the days shorter, and everything began to
lose its beauty. One day the father
