NELLIE JIGGLES

Mrs. Cheer Up, the robin lady,
stepped to the door of her nest
house in the tree and looked down
There was Il worried ruffle to her
feathers and she seemed anxious
about something. Then along came
flying Nellie Chip Chip, the sparrow
girl.
"Oh, Nellie sang Mrs. Cheer
Up, will you please go to the store
for me1'
"Indeed, I WILL" chirped Nellie
fluttering her tail up and down and
bit sideways. "What do you want
me to get, Mrs. Cheer Up'"
'Some bird gravel" answered
the robin lady. "Mr. Cheer Up has
a little indigestion. What he eats
doesn't seem to agree with him,
and | think if he had some coarse
gravel to swallow, it would be
just the thing for him. He is lying
down in the nest, and l can't leave,
but if you'l go to the store
"Why, Of course, l will-most
gladly" said Nellie politely. Il II
get you package of bird gravel.
"And you II. be careful not to
iiggle it: won t you, Nellie, my
dear7" asked Mrs. Cheep Up.
"Jiggle it'' repeated Nellie.

Then she flew through the air to
the drug store of DIR. Possum, where
she bought a package of bird grav-
ell
"I hope it will do Mr.. Cheer Up
good, - said DR.. Possun.

The little sparrow girl flew back
over the forest trees, carrying under
one wing the package of bird grav-
el. She was looking down NJ the
