LESSON 17
This is a bird’s nest.
May I look in? Yes.
I see three eggs in it,
but no young ones yet.
Where is the bird?
It will soon be back.
See, there it comes!
It flies back to its nest.
Now it is in the nest,
and it sits on the eggs.
Its mate is on the tree.
He sings a sweet song.
There will soon be
young birds in the nest.
This is the tree where the bird has its nest. Let us look in it now. Here it is. I can see three young ones in it—one, two, three. How soft and warm they are! We may look at them, but we must not take them out.
Here is the bird. It sees us. Let us go back, and see what it will do. See! it fl ies to the nest! It loves its young ones. There is its mate. He is up on the tree. He loves to sing when the hen bird is in the nest with its young. How sweet his song is!
Now let us go back to the soft green grass at the pond. See! there is the sheep with a bird on its back! The bird will take some of the soft wool of the sheep for its nest. See! it is off with some! and now it fl ies back to its nest.
The sheep loves its lamb, and the lamb loves me. The hen gives us eggs, one, two, three. The bird sings a song, as it sits on the tree. God loves the bird that sings in the tree. God loves the lamb, and God loves me.
