II was a very, very long time ago tldt
great-grandmother Sparrow lived In
beautiful. big maple tree that stood III
the middle Of broad, green field Ana
Il may surprise you to know that great
grandmother Sparrow was white. Yes
white as the soft. downy snow that lay
on the field during the long, cold winter
months to keep the roots Of the plants
and the seeds that had fallen in the su-
tumn from freezing.
Then one day in october very terrlpic
thing happened to great-granomotner
SPARROW: and it caused her TO turn brown
like the leaves on the maple tree, when
they go to sleep for the winter. This Is
how 1t all happened:
Not far from the maple tree grew
large berry vine. with lots and lots OF
red berries on Il in the fall or the year
All of the sparrows from the country
round about came to eat these berries
Then. one day when they were almost
gone. great grandmother Sparrow flew
down and ate every one that was left.
Then she flew back to the maple tree
where she lived, and sat on limb and
started to tell her little children about
the feast she had enjoyed.
But before great-grandmother Sparrow
was able TO finish telling them about II
a great. cold wind blew through the tree
And because she had been so naughty
and eaten ell the berries and left none
for the other sparrows the wind blew
largo cloud of dust with IT. The dust
covered her and her babies, and turned
them all brown.
And after that they were not able 70
live in the country any more. because the
other sparrows laughed at them and
would not play with them any more be-
cause they had been naughty sparro"s
and had been turned brown.
SO. as soon as great grandmother Spar
row had taught her babies IN fly she
took them on long, long trip. Ana
finally they arrived at a great city. that
was buIlded by the sea. Now, In TINS
city the streets were dusty and the
buildings were brown, so great grand
mother sparrow felt quite at home.

The Weeks Poem
THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD TO
HIS LOVE.
BY Christopher stsrlowe

Nv Christopher Msrlowe.
Come, live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dales and field
And all the craggy mountains yield.
There will we sit upon the rocks
Aid see the shepherds feed their focks
BY shallow rivers, to whose falls
MeiodoJs birds sing madrigals.
There will j make thee beds Of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
a cap of flowers and a kirtle
Embroidered ell with leaves Of myrtle.
"A gown made of the finest wool,
Which from our pretty lambs we pull.
Fair lined slippers for the cold.
With buc kles OF the purest gold.
A bel. Of straw and ivy buds
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And IL these pleasures may thee move
Come, live with me and be my love
Thy silver dishes for thy meat
As precious as the gods do eat
Shall on an ivory table be
prepared each day for thee and nc
TIE shepherd SWANS shall dance and sins
Tor thy delight each May morning:
II these delights thy mind may move.
Then live with me and be my love.
