How the Robin Got Its Red Breast.
BY Leon Nurnberg. Age IL, Plainvtew, Neb.
Far away in the north and
where all is snow and ice and it is
always cold--long, long ago there
was only fire. A hunter and his
little boy kept this fire burning day
and night. One day the hunter be-
came 1T and said to his boy: '".You
must watch the fire, no matter what
happens to rue. Keep 1t burning
brightly and watch it night and day,
lest the White Bear come to de-
stroy it."
So the brave little boy watched
the fire. But after many days and
nights, the poor boy was worn out
and he fell asleep. The White Bear
was watching nearby and when the
boy fell asleep he came and blew the
fire out.
1t happened that there was robin
In tree overhead. When the White
Bear had gone away, the robin no.
ticed spark OF fire that was left.
He flew down and began to fan this
spark with his wings.
Soon it arose and became large
flame. 1t seorched the robins breast,
but he kept on tanning it. Soon the
boy woke up and the robin flew
away. When he had flown away he
noticed that his breast had turned
red.
