OUR LITTLE BROTHERS—THE BIRDS
"Recently I read in the paper how hungry" and thirsty 'the little birds were; thai,some were dying. I took one of Mother's sponge tins, filled it with waterrand1 placed it 'neath the plum tree. Then I got about half a loaf of.,s.tale bread, scattering it around the fruit tree.' It was funny to'watch them. First they would perch in our big lucerne hedge, then on the tip-top branch of the fruit tree, and gradually work; their way down till they came to the soil, where, -'they looked at the bread, walked cautiously, and took a lump of bread and a drink, then flew off. Mother and I tried to count them, but there were too many. Imagine the noise and confusion there was. I also had to replenish the supply of bread."' • "LITTLE GLADNESS" (13). Karori. • [ ■ ' ,
