NOVEMBER 



Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow like to eat corn. 



The Sparrow, children eat the same thing. 



Do you not think it is hard food for such 

 little people? 



Would you like to eat hard seeds for your 

 breakfast, dinner, and supper ? 



But then you have not a strong beak to crush 

 the grains. 



The sparrow has two eyes, two nostrils, two 

 ears, two arms, two legs. 



Its nostrils are in its beak. 



His ears are behind the eyes. 



But where are his arms ? 



slender chirp scold 



Here 



is Mr. Spar- 

 row again. 



Look at his feet. 



Now you see why 

 his toes are so long. 



But are they not 

 in the way when he 

 tries to walk? 



He does not walk ; he hops. 



Why is he called an English sparrow ?
