Long time ago, rs every ono knows
the wood pigeon was the messenger
of tho animals who went In search Of
food for them when there was no long
er enough 10 eat where they lived
Every one has heard OF the time the
wood pigeon led them from the Far
North 10 the South. where the berries
were hanging ripe on the bushes and
the nuts were rafting down from the
trees.
Then came time when oil the wood
pigeons went away-thcy have never
come back
Where did they go? You may ask

ones who lived I'm tho woods once told
that little one where the wood pigeons
went; aud this IS the story:

the arch of the sky because tina, land
got so crowded that they could no
longer ind enough TO cat up there.
Tho water beetle was sent down to
water them TO start the land; and after
n while the rest followed.
