What do you know about funding your way home? Never boast uiitii you have really

Then in the spring they come back here and they never miss their way. Even little Hum- mer the Hummingbird does that. If long-distance flying and find- ing the way home are things to boast about. then Hummer has a right to boast. But he doesn't.

"Where is Boomer the Night- hawk?" ldemanded Homer, looking all about.

Tommy Tit. chuckled, ”I didn't mom to give you the idea he ll ihere now," explained Tommy Tit. ."He will be here when spring mines. I wouldn't wonder if he has already started.

Boomer the Nighthawk was :1 that very time in southern south America, for he spends his winter: in Southern Argentina. Homer had reason to feel 1 little foolish.
