200 THE BIRD OF THE STREET. 



a particularly large and attractive grub was 

 brought to light. This was too much for spar- 

 row philosophy. He made one dash, snatched 

 the tempting morsel from the very bill of the 

 robin, and disappeared before the astounded 

 bird recovered from his surprise. 



With this unparalleled act of impertinence 

 to a bird big enough to eat him, this true 

 chronicle of the most unattractive fellow that 

 wears feathers shall close.
