he was told. OF course Ralph was
ready to promise, SO very early one
morning, In fact, before it was light,
they started out on their long walk
through the woods.
Ralph wa. not quite old enough TO
carry a gun, but his father wanted him
to learn how to shoot and hunt Tor
game Of all kinds, so Ralph followed
a little behind. watching his father
closely.
They had walked several miles and
had only seen one quail, which was too
far off for his father to try and shoot,

hunting wasn't so much fun after all.
He almost wished he had staid at home
and helped the boys build the fort they
had planned to make this Saturday,
when down in a corn field close to the
woods he saw something moving.
Calling softly to his father, he crept
on ahead and sure enough, In among
the corn stalks was the most beautiful
bird Ralph had ever seen.
1t was so busy eating the corn n a
1t didn't hear Ralph. Bang, went his
fathers gun, and Ralph, forgetting that
he had been forbidden TO walk In front
while hunting, ran into the corn field
and held the bird up high for his
father to see. ...
1t was a beautiful Chinese pheasant
and the plumage on the bird was very
beautiful. Ralph's father couldn't sCold
him very hard, for he acted so pleased
and proud that his father had at last
shot a bird.
AS it was getting late, and they had
quite a long journey before arriving

again, but hurried back to show their
prize to mother. Ralph carried the bird
all the way home and when he reached
there, ran into the house shouting:
Mother. look, look what we brought
you!"
That night Ralph helped his father
pluck the bird and when his mother
saw the beautiful feathers 1t a she
said: Let me have the feathers and
will make me a hat" They were very
a lovely feather hat that she could
wear all winter. Whenever h went
out with Ralph he would say to her:
Are You going to wear your hat we
found for your" and she always did.
