they talked. There were roosters and
hens of all kindsI and colors, red and
brown, gray, white, black and white,
and every other color you can think
of They were all being exhibited at
a big show. But they were not the
only creatures at this show.
They tired, of course. to make just
as much noise as possible, so they
would be noticed more than any of
the other animals.
Some of the Mrs. Hens were very
proud because there were baskets be-
ing eXhibited-nOt because the baskets
were so beautiful but because they
were filed with fine eggs which they
had laid.
There were parrots and pheasants
with long tails at the show, and some
of the most beautiful buff colOrings.
They all talked and whistled and
chatted and tried to say.

We have gorgeous suits and feathers.
We have wondrous tails. Come to

There were many pigeons at the
show, too They were also of all
colors, buff, white. gray. gray and
green. and brown and speckled tails
Some of them were standing with
their tails out straight. Some of them
had their heads held so far back that
they were resting on their tails.
And some had their tails spread so
as to look their very best and were
strutting around talking softly to each
other and TO the people.
They were trying to say, "Coo, COO.

and we don't make much noise but
we try to be sweet and gentle and

There were canaries, too. at the
show, and they kept chirping, "Come
and see us, Wen sing for you, we'll
cheer you up. Come and see u.s."
The gray cranes were each stand
ing on one leg, not because the other
was cold, but because they liked to

There were some carrier pigeons
