^Hiawatha's chickens 



Lesson 25 



HIAWATHA'S FRIENDS 



THEN the little Hiawatha 

 Learned of every bird its language, 

 Learned their names and all their secrets, 

 How they built their nests in Summer, 

 Where they hid themselves in Winter, 

 Talked with them whene'er he met them, 

 Called them " Hiawatha's Chickens."
