Mr.. and MRS. SPARROW.
Once there was two birds Mr. and Mrs.

once there was two birds, Mr. and Mrs
Sparrow.
They had a neat little home in an old
apple tree, and besides they had a little
nest. with three eggs in 1t.
they were as pink as the apple BIOS
SONS. Mrs Sparrow would sit on the
eggs. while Mr.. Sparrow went out to get
something for dinner.
one day they both went out to visit
some friends The wind blew hard and
a limb fell in the nest and broke two
eggs. When Mr.. and Mrs. Sparrow came
home they were very angry about the
eggs. but Mrs. Sparrow sat on the one
egg. Soon 1t popped open. The little bird
came out. It was a beauty. Mr.. Sparrow
went out every day three times a day
for something to eat. When the little bird
was old enough to fly her mother gave
her a birthday party. She Invited all OF
her friends. They had a very nice time
playing games. Then her mother brought
in the refreshments. The little bird said
sbe never enjoyed herself so much In all
her life She received many pretty pres

"PINKY."

pinky was white mouse that trleno
of mine bought when 1t was very young
and so small. that when 1t was more
than two months old It would amuse IT,
self by running back and forth through
her finger ring, as she held 1t on inc
table like a hoop. and he liked his play
thing so we'll that when he got too large
tn get through his mistress let him wear
1t round his neck as collar.
But soon he outgrew IT and then
Pinky had to give up his little gold toy
altogether, and made friends with spool
of cotton, which he would get out OF the
work basket, stand upon the end and sit
upon, and then with his tiny paws UNWIND
the cotton, twirling the spool round on the
polished table. and so giving himself a
ride, and looking very cunning perched
up there.
Sometimes his mistress would hold a
Knitting needle over the table. and he
would put his forepaws over 1t, and
dance up and down the whole length OF
the needle until he was tired. He had a
little red cloak with hood, and ne
would stand quite still to have 1t put on,
and then scamper off to a little block
house the children had, and would peep
out of one of the windows, looking just
like little Red Riding Hood"
There Is always danger in playing too
much. and one day poor Pinky laid IN
his kind mistress hand, seemed tired and
sick. and the next day he died in her
hand.
The moral OF this true story is always
let your pets, whether puppies or kit
tens, or anything else, have plenty OF
time to rest and sleep,
