be. But some one suggested thar they
should try II, and they tried 1t, and my
grandfather WAS lonely and he thought
OF the great forests and the woods
where he loved to sing of an evening.
He tried to sing but his little heart
was so sad that he couldn't get a
sound from his voice and the keeper
said; You see"
And when n little time longer went
on and still my grandfather didn't sing
the keeper said: 1t is as said. A
whippoorwlll will not sing when he is
in captivity. He isn't happy in cap
tiVlty. He is bird who loves the
Tildness of the woods and the silence
of the night
" He sings when 1t is still and quiet,
when twilight has come over the earth.
nud he likes to sing his song by him
self rather than to join in the concerts
given by the other birds
ut is not While Whippoorwill con-
tlnued, because we are 50 conceited.
No. ii Is because we are shy and be-
and quietncSs of the woods and of the
evening,
"Well, the keeper had his way and
my grandfather was taken from the
ZOO and carried in n cage some dis
lance away to some woods, where the
keeper had heard some of his family
were living
And there he was set free! Have
any of YOU heard the story my grand
father tells of his freedom? OF the
moment when he knew he was free
and when he flew Oft? For JOY he
wanted 10 sing and there in the woods
whore he had left his voice, he found
il waiting for hIin, and he sang over
and over again. Whip poorwill, whip
poorWill.
We'll, they never tried again in that
roo to have whippoorWill. But an
other 200, nor far away was not sure
that such thing was true They had
been told that a Whippoorwtll would
not sing in captivity, but they weren't
ut all sure that II was true.
so they thought they would try and
they got me, and was there in the zoo
for a while. But they We're kind ana
they set me free. And | do believe
now that many. If not all, keepers and
people who have to do with nnimals
and birds know that in captivity the
whippoorWll will not sing.
~ know now why my grandfather
said he was glad that he had been IN
captivity for a while. OF course, when
he was free again, he said he never
knew that such JOY in the world exist
cd as he felt when that good keeper
left him in his beloved woods
But he was glad that for time he
had been in captivity, for though he
hadn't been cross he had shown that
Nhippo0rwils should not be in captiv-
ity. He had shown that 1t was not fair
to them.
