STORK STAYS HOME
CANNY DANISH PENSIONER,
A stork in the Danish village cf Hulsig seems to. have decided that wintering abroad is much too great a, luxury, in these needy times-' ? • Last autumn, when his fellows took wing for,.the south, he stayed behind and cannily made himself a pensioner on one cf the big farms of the neighbourhood. Every morning when the chickens are being fed he appears in the poultry yard and demands his share of warm oatmeal mash, which is' of course gladly given him. He has made fqr. himself a cosy little nook in the thatched roof 'of' th® cottage, but on very cold nights he stalks after the 'hens into the henhouse. ; One wonderr whether our stork' will laugh in his wing when his fellows return. from their long flight, dr whether their talk of travel and adventure in faroff climes' will make him feel just a little out of it?
