Ava Of his voice, and he was never
tired Of singing his liquid tones, which
were very sweet, but so were the notes
of other birds, and Mr.. Nightingale
wanted to make his song heard above
all others.
So he sang all day, but he could not
make his song ring out through the
woods above the songs Of the other
birds, and so much did he worry
about it that Mr.. Nightingale could not
sleep at night.
His eyes we're wide open, and his

could improve his voice SO that his
song would be the loudest in the
