's ed rustlin, the g fi ' i g hted a poor little bird which out, flew of a neighbour in g bush and soon, disappeared. vexed. He fixed his eye u p on th ' bush to see if it would not ' ret urn,, and while he was attentively cousi-z derin he thought he saw amon g it, g the branches a where they at spot,
6 7 were twisted into one another, some thing like a tuft of hay. His cu riosit y induced hlm to draw nea rer and examine it. He found this tuft of hay was - hollow like a p orringer ' h e thrust aside the branches, and saw certain little balls within it, of an oval shape, and spotted. They w ere placed beside each other on a, layer of Sure this said g rass., G eorge, m ust be what I have heard some people call a bird s nest and the balls are eggs.. They are indeed ' uite little, but the bird' is not so big as an y O f our hens. It was his first design to carry

9 10 between you both, is truly a mis fortune but it is one however that should not much grieve you, since you did not mean to do so. I might notwithstanding blame you, G eorge, with ' u stice for the act of having, brought it from the nest. You
10 11 must have seen hen s eggs disposed of in a sort of nest. The mother sits on, w'arin s and animates them. 'hickens in about three weeks are form ed ' within them, and they pierce the shell. In some few days, they come and feed out of your hand. This egg would also have become. a sort of chick, which you have killed by bringing it away. The bird that flew out of the bush m e, was the mother. Doubtless she will 'ag com e ain and very shortly,, to her nest she will perceive that ' one egg is wanting, and perhaps for
11 12 sake it all to g ether. This is fre ' uently the cas e. P erhaps this loss of but a single egg, informs them that their asylum is discovered ; they have every thing to fear from ourviolence they guess that when their little ones are hatch cd, he who has already robbed them, will return a nd seiz e upon their ten der family. If then this nest which you have been thus robbing, as I must call it, should be totally aban doued' tell me, would you not be Y es, mam m a, indeed, replied, lit, t le G eorge ; and I am sorry that I
12 13 meddled with the egg ; but then I did 'n ot know a syllable of wha t y o u have been tellin g u s ; and thought no harm in bringing it to show my sister, which is all that I meant to do. ' y little fellow, I can easily be lieve you, said the mother. Should y o u do bad actions for the pleasure which some suppose there is in do ing them, you would in that case have a very wicked heart, and I should be ' uite sorry that I r had such a son ' but that I do not fear ; for, on the contrary, I know y ou to be aver y g o od bo y.
