awhile and | saw a blucbird come to

and put them in the box. In two or
three days the nest was completed.

and there was n tiny blue egg in It.
The next morning there were two
eggs In It and ii kept on being one
more every day until there were I'VE
blue eggs
1t wasn't very long before there
were Ave little birds in place Of the
eggs. When the birds were about
five days old. we saw an old eat
with her head in the nest. Daddy
went out there as soon as he could
and got the cat down and ii had a
little bird in It's mouth. Daddy got
it away from the cat and IL died in
about a minute. The other four
birds stayed in the nest about a
week longer and then one day they

She hunted the house for IL. but
il could not be found. She was very
sorry about ii and so were her nus
hand and children. hut they had 10
give up. More than year after
ward when the dinner was being
prepared one DAY turnip was cut
open and in the middle was the
ladys lost ring.
But how do YOU think il got there?
VIII tell You II must have come
OF the lady's fingers when she
washed her hands. The water was
emptied In the sink and the ring
went out into the cosspools Then
in the spring. when the sink drain
was cleaned out it's contents were
carried into the field 10 enrich the
land, and the ring was carried out
too. When the turnip seeds were
.sown seed must have fallen in the
middle Of the ring. and then as the
seed sprouted and grew to be a
little turnip ana got too large for
tho ring to hold II. II just grew
all over the ring and took II in
till when the turnip was ripe, tho
ring was in the middle Of IT,
The lady was very glad TO get
her ring back again. and think
she was very careful of IL after that
