That's just what I came in to

What's the trouble?' asked
the man. "Moulting2"
"No," I answered: ''he's all
through moulting; but he hasn't
sung a note since then, and tha:.

"Oh?' laughed the man. Don't

queried.

I thanked the man and left the

<NYow, Bobby" said I,

Bobby took UP his ukulele--
you didn't know that Bobby was
a musician, did you? He is, and
a very good one, and, adjusting
his instrument carefully, he be-
gan the song I had requested,
and then had to stop.
What's the trouble?" I asked.
Cant remember IT, answered
Bobby, wrinkling his brow and
humn1ing to himself.
That's strange" said I. ''You
used to love to sing that song
for me-"

"And he's all through noult.

II know he is" agreed. "If
he were still moulting 1 would
understand. Many birds don't
sing at that time and appear
rather listless. But our little

not to sing"
How about asking the man

suggested Bobby.

promised. That bird was sure.
