LESSON 4

THE BIRD’S NEST

1. Here is a bird’s nest on the branch of a tree. It is almost hid by the leaves.

2. The nest is made of straw and little sticks. Look in and tell me what you see.

3. I see three eggs. The bird is away for food; but it will soon come back.

4. See! There it comes! It flies back to the nest. Now it sits on the eggs.

5. There will soon be young birds in the nest. Some day we may come to see them.

6. Lucy and James went every day to see them, till the little birds were able to fly.
