window-the bird flew in and
perched on the piano where it
seemed quite at home Standing by
the piano wondering what to do with
his visitor, Carl let his fingers wan

the bird said and then began to sing

continued playing and as long as he
played the bird sang. -
Suddenly realizing he was playing
something he had never heard be-

what he had been playing. Growing
chilled, he arose to close the Win

it be found in the room. He couldn't
remember when he had last heard
it singing. Where could it be?
Looking across the court of the
apartment building he noticed in the
window opposite. bird cage, and
a canury was hopping around on the
