THE CONCEITED SPARROW
(Original.) Sammy was a naughty sparrow, He would not do as he was told. He thought that he was really brav«t Said he, "I'm very bold." "Why, even Daddy won't go near The hungry big black cat. He lives in the house near us, I'm not even afraid of that!" But one day Sammy was too smart; He was playing on a tree When the big black cat passed that way, And shev licked her lips with glee. She crept up just behind him, And was just about to smack When the branch which she was standing on Suddenly went. "Cracld" She nearly fell off, But Sammy flew away, And it taught him a lesson Not to always say, "I'm not afraid,. I really am so bold." He never was naughty again, But did as he was told. "ALICE BLUE GOWN" (12). . Glenside.
