HOW LEARNED TO FLY
am bird that has lived in a tree
top all my life, flying probably a
mile from where l live and goirg to
the south to spend my winters and
flying back again.
Now l am getting old and can't
fly very good. and to pass away my
time l am going to tell of my past
life. when l was little baby bird.
Some boys built US a little bird
house and set it up in the tree for US
to live in. After my mother had
made our nest we were born and
were all very comfortable in our new
home. We were now about days
old. My name was specky. had
many other brothers and sisters too.
Now some are dead and some are
gone to far off countries. All the
names can think Of were Dickie and
Billie.
Any way l was smarter than any
of my brothers and skters were, and
l learned to fly two weeks after I
was born. the other birds had to
stay in their nest. Because they
didn't dare take plunge in the air.
When | would start to fly down l
called my mother and told her that
she should come with me, so she did
il every time.
Once l flew in the air and lit on
the ground. Old mother cat was
always sitting near waiting for some
nice fat meat. But l didn't think OF
il that time. and before could wink
my eye she had me by my neck, and
was choking me. When the children
heard me holler, they ran to see what
was the matter. They found it out,
and climbed up the tree and put me
back in my nest.
After that | could fly long way
without stopping. My other brothers
md sisters We're now flying around.
Then after we got to flying better
ye closed our doors and all flew away
TO the south. Whom We came back
it was all green and pretty.
Now am getting old and feeble
md | suppose will pass away soon.
