'This." said the little bird, sis a
true story"
SIS it now?" asked the canary.
1T most certainly is" said the first
little bird who had spoken. He had
a buff-colored breast and was little
land bird who was on a great ship
far out in the ocean. They had named
him Bufy.
"Of course. you know how / came
here?" he asked.
II knew there was a great deal of
excitement" the canary said. "Per-
haps you would tell me your story
from the beginning. l am sure would
appreciate it greatly if you would"
"Oh, very WE'LL" said Buffy. 81 will
tell you the whole story. But first |
will tell 1t to you as it happened"
"Why, were you going to tell it to me
in any other way?" asked the canary
with his head on one side, looking
most extremely shocked.
"Oh, no." said Buffy. "YOu quite mis-
understood me, or, perhaps, l should
say was not very clear"
81 will not interrupt any more"
chlrped the canary.
Both birds were in large cages. The
canary belonged to a sailor on the
ship which was crossing the Atlantic
ocean. The little buff bird had been
found on the deck one morning, very
nervous and frightened, his feathers
wet, his heart beating fast, by the sail
or who owned the canary.
He saw that the little buff bird was
still alive and he took him to his cabin
and saw that he was warm again and
that he had some of the canary's extra
supply of food. Then he gave him an
other cage ne had and when Buffy felt
better put his cage in the warm, snug
cabin where the canary was and where
the men on board came to read.
"They thought" the canary said,
that you had been blown out to sea-
that Is, some of them thought it. They
knew you weren't a sea bird and vet
very few could believe that you had
either flown or blown such long dis
lance. They said that very few Of the
water birds would fly such distance.
And they didn't see how you could
have been blown such distance and
still be alive when you got here. You
were alive, but oh, my master said,
you were very tired and wet and nerv-
Gus / should think you would have
been-hying to ship like this in the
middle of the ocean. But here l am
talking some MORE"
"What did they finally decide was
the way had Gomez" asked Buffy.
''They decided" the canary an
swered, shat you must have flown
from your cage in the cabin of an

airing and that storm suddenly arose
and you couldn't find your way back
through the storm-and so you hap
pened upon our deck"
We'll" said Buffy, "that wasn't such
a bad guess. but it isn't right. 1 will
tell you all about it."
Eyes. I've done most of the talking"
the canary said, land wanted to hear
about you"
'In the first place." said Buffy. II
am happy here and wasn't so happy
on my own ship. | wasn't made such
a pet Of as l am here. They really
didn't care for birds like your master
and his friends do.
$50 one day thought would take
trip. l had heard. during the past
few months or more-I'm not much on
time you knOw-though know when
it is spring and winter and summer
and autumn and melting time and
mating time and such-but on the
seas I'm not so certain as to when 1t
happened
"Anyway-rm getting rather too far
ahead on my stOry--I had heard for
quite a little while of the wonderful
people who flew across the ocean
men in airships. l heard how they
won prizes and how fine 1t was.
''Well. / thought I'd like to do the
same. It would be a fine thing for me,
a land bird, to fly across the ocean. So
l left my ship when my cage door was
opened and the cabin portfolio was
open and or I,came to fly across the
ocean. hoped at the end would re-
cieve big trunk of seed and nice
box Of lettuce and a suitcase of cutie
fish for my rewards. But also, was
overtaken by storm as so many flyers
are. birds and men. And was forced
to make this IGnding But I'm glad
did and / don't believe I'll fly again for
awhile. It's still bit risky-even If
one has his wings right with him I"
"Oh." said the canary admiringly,
'what modern bird you are. what
very modern bird"
