THE LITTLE BROWN WRENS

Mrs. Brown Wren heard tin brown bell in the high brown steeple strike six o’clock. Immediately she got out of her little brown bed and took off her little brown nightgown. Then she put on her little brown dress and her little brown apron, and went down her little brown stairs into her little brown kitchen and started to make some good brown bread for breakfast. When the little brown bread was all baked a nice, shiny brown. Mrs. Biown "Wren set it on the little brown table. Then she put around all the little brown plates, and all the little brown knives and forks and spoons, and the little brown napkins, and placed all the litLlc brown chairs around the little brown table. After that, she rang the little brown bell. When Mr. Brown W ren and all the Little Brown Wrens heard the little brown bell, they all got out of their littlo brown beds, took off their little brown pyjamas, and put on their little brown clothes. Then they came down the little brown stairs aivd seated themselves in the little brown chairs. After they had eaten all of the little brown bread. Father Brown Wren kissed Mother Brown Wren and all the Little Brown Wrens and went away to business in his little brown automobile. Then Mother Brown Wren tieu all the little brown hair-ribbons and all the little brown neckties, and kissed all the Little Brown Wrens and sent them off to the little brown schoolhouse. When they had all gone, Mrs. Brown Wren said. “Now I can clean my little brown house.” Sho went up her little brown stairs and made all the little brown beds with good, clean, little brown sheets. Then she dusted all the little brown tables and all the littlebrown chairs, and made everything spick and span. After that, she washed down her little brown stairs, polished her little brown stove, and scrubbed her little brown kitchen till everything looked just as brown as anything could be. Then she went to work and made the finest little brown pudding, all filled with little brown raisins. Just as the littlo brown pudding was all nicely browned and quite done, she heard the patter of all the Little Brown Wrens’ feet. Sho hurried to open the little brown door, and in flocked the hungry Little Brown Wrens. When they had eaten the little brown pudding all filled with little brown raisins, they all declared it was the very best little brown pudding the Little Brown Wrens could possibly eat. Then one of the Little Brown Wrens said, “We have the best little brown mother in the world!” This made Mrs. Brown Wren very happy, and she smiled a very little brown smile while she said in turn, “I, too, have the best little brown wrens in the world I” Just then they heard the honk-honk of a little brown automobile. They all flew to the little brown door, and there, in truth, was Mr. Brown Wren himself. The Little Brown Wrens all crowded

bout him and >ai*l. We hare the best littlo Drown mother in the world.” Of course, that made Mrs. Brown Wren happier than ever. Then Mrs. Brown Wren put her lltil* brown wing in that of Mr. Brown Wren, and said, “And I have the best little brown wrens.” “Yes. yes.” answered Father Brown Wren, “quite true, quite true.” And. trying to put his two little brown wings around them all, he proudly said “See. I have the l*»s? little brown family in all the world.” Then they all went into the little brown house, and after a while they had a tasty little brown stew for supp v. When that was eaten, and nil the little brown dishes had been washed and wiped and put away in the little brown cupboard. Mr. Brown Wren lighted a little brown lamp find seated liimseli in a comfortable little brown chair wit!, his little brown feet on a little brown stool. Then he took out a little brown newspaper and began to read. Mrs. Brown Wren lighted a littl« brown candle and led all the Little Brown Wrens up the little brown stairs. She helped them take off their little brown clothes and put or their little brown pyjamas; after that sh<heard them say their little brown prayers, and tucked them all cosily and. snugly underneath the clean little brown sheets in their own little brown beds. Then Mr. Brown Wren put down his littlo brown paper, and took his little brown lamp, and went up the littlo brown stairs. After he and Mrs Brown Wren had talked for awhile in little brown whispers, they took off their littlo brown clothes, put on their little brown nightgowns, and got into their littlo brown beds, all cool and cosy under the clean little brown sheets. Then the little brown bell in the little brown steeple struck nine times, and all the little brown eyes in all the little brown heads were tightly closed. Tho little brown wrens slept peacefully and happily all tho night long.
