The sun was 50 mild and yellow that
every blackbird on hand strutted around,

eyes out for snutrrels-prcvided they
were small. And every live thing was
having q lovely time-the birds. pigeons
and squirrels chipping and friskins over
the grass like so many children. and
the children themselves dancing about
like fairies. with nurses for eodniothers

not 50 many during those working
hours. but enough 70 scatter about on
