BIRD STORIES 



Corbie slipped off and amused himself. 



into wings, though, as a bird's arms do, how should we

The weeks passed by. A happ}^ time for Corbie, 

 whether he played with the children or slipped off and 

 amused himself, as he had a way of doing now and then, 

 after he grew old enough to feel independent. The world 

 for him was full of adventure and joy. He never once 

 asked, ''What can I do now to amuse me? " Never once.
