Part IV. SoN(is of the Birds 



In the songs of tlie Ijiids, wlucli close the daj', the people are in- 

 structed in their parental duties. They must take uijon themselves 

 the care of providing for their children, even before they are born; 

 they are to be cheerful and Ihankful for all they recei\e; they are to 

 guide and protect their families, to be watchful and faithful in storm 

 and in sunshine, by day and lij' night. By following these teachings 

 the}' will receive in full measure, in completeness, the gifts of the 

 Ilako.
