MOLLIS AND THE SPARROWS 



Soon the sparrows came flying back. They looked first at the 

 bread, then at Molhe. Finally they decided to eat their supper. So 

 they flew on the piazza and began picking up the crumbs very fast. 



Mollie clapped her hands; but they were too hungry to hear her. 

 When they had eaten all the crumbs they were tired. Then they 

 went to sleep on the I'ose-frame with their heads under their wings. 

 Mollie fed them every day until the snow was gone and there was 

 plenty for them to eat.
