But the third little Phoebe was a Little 

 Fool, and he knew it. And he said to 

 his wife: "We are so foolish we cannot 

 foresee all the dangers — we do not even

 some one here bigger than they. Let us 

 put our trust in him. We will build our 

 nest between the sticks of his nest : per- 

 haps he will protect us.*'
