The Larks and The Farmer

better

1. A lark once had her nest in a wheat field. Every day she flew off to find food for her young ones

2. One day when she was away the farmer came into the field.

3. “This wheat is ripe,” he said. “I will get my friends to help me cut it.”

4. When the lark came home, her young ones chirped, “O mother, we must fly away at once. The farmer has gone for his friends. They are to help him cut his wheat.”

5. “Oh,” said their mother, “then we can stay here a little longer.”

6. After a time the farmer came again.

“My friends have not come,” he said. “It will be better not to wait for them. I will go to my cousins and get them to help me.”

7. That night, the little larks said, “O mother, the farmer has gone to get his cousins to help him. Must we go now?”

8. “Oh, no,” said the mother. “We can still stay a little longer.”

9. In a day or two the farmer came back.

“My cousins have not come,” he said. “This work should be done at once. I see I might as well do it myself. In the morning I will come and cut this wheat.”

10. That night the young larks said, “O mother, the farmer says he will cut the wheat himself. Should we not go?”

11. “Yes, my children,” said the mother lark. “Now we must fly away at once. The wheat is sure to be cut. The farmer is to do it himself.” FVgd/1luNee/rycPM9CSMs9buDp8iJX0T5G/8bAhVUXPsADHjrwaYJj7AAqMXjWV
