Why not? Am I not the home
maker?" replied Mrs. Winsome sweetly.
Just then she spied Farmer Browns
Boy entering the Old orchard. At
first she paid little attention to him.
All the birds were used to Farmer
Browns Boy. He was their friend.
His presence in the Old Orchard was
not matter for worry or even to get
excited about. So Mrs. Winsome paid
him little attention. She would wait
until after he had left There was no
special hurry about showing Winsome
that new house. She was sitting in the
tree nearest to the new home of john
ny Chuck and Polly Chuck. She no
ticed it. Il don't remember that
house" said she, looking down at it.
"Of course you don't" replied Polly
Chuck from her doorstep. 1T is new
house. I dug it this spring. 1t really
isn't completed yet 1t hasn't a back
door, and I must have back door. I
simply must have back door"
Il have new house." said Mrs
Winsome. Don't you love a new
house? I do"
Did you make it?" asked Polly
Chuck politely
NO" admitted Mrs. Winsome. Il
can't make house, but 1 always
make my own nest"
Meanwhile Farmer Browns Boy had
been over by that tree where the new
house was. Mrs. Winsome couldn't
see what he was doing, but she didn't
worry. He was there only moment
or two. Then he crossed to the other
side Of the Old Orchard. He was car
rying something, but Mrs Winsome
paid no attention to what it was.
Come on" said she to Winsome.
Come on If you want to see our new
house"
Winsome spread his blue wings and
followed. WELL" said he, where is
the house?"
Mrs. Wnsome was flutterng about
in the tree. It was clear that she was
both excited and confused. Well"
repeated Winsome, where is that
house? Why don't you show it to me?
don't see any house. Where is it?"
Mrs. Winsome acted as II she wasn't
sure which tree was the right one.
She visited the trees next to the one
she was sure was the right one. None
appeared to be the right one. There
wasn't . house in any of them.

mered.

Together they few over to the other
