they talked. There were ROSTERS and
hens of all kinds, and colorc, 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 tried, 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,
"CoEne to see us, come to see us.
We have gorgeous suits and feathers.
We have wondrous tails. Come to-
see u.s.
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,
coo, coo, come to see us. We're quiet
and we don't make much noise but
we try to be sweet and gentle and
loving.
You'll find there are many lovely
ones among US. Do come, COO, coo,

There were canaries, too at the
show, and they kept chirping, "Come
and see US, we'll sing for you, wen
cheer you up. Come and see u.s.
The gray cranes were each stand

was cold, but because they liked to
