from that day on he became more vain

knew he was much too nice Il Bird to

that all his Children and Cousins and
Aunts and Unces were all becoming

their voices were just as beautiful as
voices Of Canarles.
"To be sure, Mr.. Goldilnch'S voice
is very much like Canary's-but it's
not quite SO lovely--and he can't do
the wonderful trills a Canary can with

isn't beautiful
So the Fairy Queen made her plans.
First of ALL She asked the Birds to
give her q Concert, and gladly they all
said they would.
Very well, said She, then let 1t be

And the next day, on a row along

Blue Jay Family, the Indigo Bird
Family and The Goldhnch Family.
First Of all they all sang in beau

all the Fairies were delighted.
But before long the Elves happened
along by the old Fence, and they said
whats up? A Concert? May we

Queen and then She whispered to the
Elves her secret The Elves sat along
