Mrs. Wrcn,s Mistake

You ARE NOT to suppose that, Just
because MIR. Cater and Terry Turtle
were big, rather fierce creatures,
every animal who lived on that same
lovely southern river was big and
fierce, too-for they were not. In.
deed, no. There were dainty butter
flies and sweet singing birds a-plenty
and they did not worry their bright
heads one bit over Mr.. Cater or Terry
Turtle, or any creature.
What matter II an alligator was
waiting hungrily for his dinner, or
great moccasin was curled UP on
the bank waiting to grab something?
Wasn't the sun shining beautifully 2
Weren't the flowers bright and
fragrant, and the winds loaded with
sweet smells? OF course! And no.
body knew better than the birds what
q beautiful river that was, and how
happy they were to spend their days
in the woods by its iside.
OF all the birds who lived by the
river, none were more Industrious
than Mrs. Wren. She worked and
she worked. and the more she did.
the more she found to do, taking care
OF her little family and keeping her
nest in f1rst-class order.
But one morning in the pleasant
spring time, she, for once, got tired
of working.
"Of course know ought to mend
that corner Of the nest," she said
thoughtfully; but someway I don't
care to work. l just want to sing!"
Which was no wonder, for the day
was bright and pleasant-just the
kind of a day for singing, to be sure.
I'm going to take day of and
sing!" she exclaimed suddenly. I'm
not going to work another bit all
day. I'm going down to the river
and sing till / am tired-then per-
haps I will like working again"
SO off to the river she few.
She perched on log-a great, big,
rough, humpy log by the side Of the
river and there began to sing at the
top Of her voice.
