WHAT THE BIRDIES THOUGHT. 



• • By Charlotte Chittenden. 



Four little birdies, went sound to sleep, 



On the end of a telegraph wire. 

 When sunrise came, the buzz of the pole 



Made them dream that the world was afire ! 

 So they hurried, and scurried away to a pond. 



Then, fast as their feathers could. fly. 

 They sputtered, and spattered, so high and so hard. 



They thought it was reaching the sky. 

 When they were through, the world was still there. 



So they thought, with no shadow of doubt. 

 The fire they had dreamed was burning the world, 



By their eff'orts alone was put out.
