OPEN EYES
"While scrambling in the bush looking for disused birds’ nests we found a little bird sitting on her nest. She did not fly away, because she had the love Nature gives to mothers. I believed she sat on blue spotted,eggs. I hurried away, because I did not want her to leave her babies. “We went with our teacher to the Zoo to-day.. In a small pona we found eight penguins and a baby one. A penguin pushed the little one into the pond. I believe they are Emperor penguins, because of their two yellow feathers on each side. There are also three alligators on the hillside in a pond. One was in the water, and it looked just like a small log. The Polar bear is as white as the snow it is supposed to lie on. . . No wonder the Eskimos are often trapped.” DOROTHY MASLEN. « t « • “I went out for a long walk' on Sunday. I looked across the paddocks and I saw about two thousand buttercups, and I picked a big bunch. It looked just like gold all over the paddocks. "I saw a young turkey ... it was all colours.” ROBIN BARRETT. * • « * “I went for a walk on the hills and found a fairy toad-stool .... the top was all silver.”MARJORIE CHUDLEY.
