won't YOU come out AMI try for tina
prize" said the queen kindly. but tho
little partridge IL. its sober brown dress
was so much embarrassed by being
spoken TO that II only hid itself more
closely in the leaves and watched the
fine birds as they sang and strutted in
the light.
At last the queen was so tired that
she said she would not decide till morn
Ing who deserved the prize, but that
the drum would lie on the rock all night
till II was awarded. Then the guests
that lived in the forest went to their
dens, and the birds rested in the bushes.
The queen and the little boy lay down
on a bed of moss under the wild flow
ers. But the little partridge decided to
sleep where 1t was, in the shadow of
small bush.
After awhile everything grew quiet
and all the birds were sound asleep.
That is, all the birds except the little
partridge, who was wide awake and
watching strange shadow that came
creeping, creeping slowly under the
1 trees. each moment getting nearer and
| nearer to the queen and boy sleeping
| under the flowers. And the partridge
| saw with terror that 1t was the old
wolf. Though she was nearly frightened
| to death, she remembered the sleeping
| queen and little Ruby, and knew II de-
pended on her alone to save their lives.
So she reached over and got the little
| golden drum and sticks and began to
beat loudly and flap her wings: In
! second the queen and all the birds we're
| awake and screaming for help. And in
another instant there came a rush of
animals out Of the forest rush of
beasts that burst on the wicked wolf
| and frightened him away.
| So the next morning the queen. before
| all the guests, took the little drum and
| hung 1t around the modest partridge's
| neck, saying that the best thing in the
| world was a brave deed.
The drum has been around the part
! ridges neck ever since, and even today,
| IL you scare flock of them, you can
hear the swift "whirr, whirr" as they
beat the alarm on their little drums,
which are hidden out of sight beneath
| the left wing.
