About a Blackbird
A woman was looking out of her sitting-room window into the garden when she noticed a blackbird on the roof of the garage, chattering, flying about evidently in great distress. She went out of the room into the garden, and as soon as the blackbird saw her it flew down from the roof and ran to meet her, then back it flew to the garage door. The bird repeated this several times, so at last she opened the garage door and found inside a cat, which must have jumped in the window, with another blackbird in its mouth. The woman seized the cat and managed to get the bird, which, fortunately, was not injured, out of its mouth, and then the two birds flew happily away together.
