(A real story of reel children

.. for very young children) I -- Yesterday the earth had been - bare and brown. with puddles .here and there, and. ofcourse, lots 'of mud everywhere. But this

morning. as Laurie opened his ;eyes and looked out, all was changed. White mow lay like a soft spread. hiding all the dirt "sud dead grass. Laurie felt so -happy to think that today there would be snow for him to play in. -He oould make roads with his little blue seligh. He could shovel - ii path over to the old apple tree. b He might even be able to make a -' snowman. Oh snow was wonder- ful! There was nothing so nice ifor playing. He was sure everybody and everything must be happy a-

bout the snow coming back a- ; gain. Then he noticed the little

apurowe. They were huddled to- gether on the bare branches of. the cherry tree. A few were in the lilac tree. The wind was blow-i in; hard, and it ruffled up their fathers. He saw them looking ll- round. but they weren't moving. He thought. to himself. "I'm happy about the snow because I like to play in it. But I hum lots to eat and R warm house to lIYP in. Those little. birds do not look as if they are enjoying themselves. Perhaps not everybody is happy that the snow came back."

He went to talk it over with his mother who was busy niAkin'I bread. "Are you happy with the snow?" he asked.

His mother looked rather siir- nrised as she answered slowly. ”Well, yes. I suppose I am in ii way. I know how much you like- ihe snow, so that makes me happyl too. I'm glad the snow came a-i pain to corrr up the tulips and daffodils and the other plants in the garden. That will keep them safe from old Jack Frost."

"I don't think thr birds are ilk- lng the snow, are they. Molinlny." Laurie asked

"Maybe they aren't. dear," his mother said. ”What do you think

is the trouhlol"

"I think they are cold and hung air."

"We cant do nliyiliin: about the cold. but we can give them more to eat. Here are some crumbs. Feed them like you al- ways do."

Laurie slipped on his coat. rub- bers. and can. then wont to spread

PBICKLES Liv!-is AND LEARNS Demands of life-I-ovlfmost are stern. They best will fare who quickly

learn. -Old Mother Nature.

Babies of the wood folk begin learning almost. as soon as they are born. They have to. If they didn't they wouldli't live long. Some are born more helpless than others. Peter Rabbit's babies are born with their eyes closed, and with no lit- tle fur (oats. They are very help- less babies. They must grow first. and begin to learn about life and

the food in the gardenf The little birds watched him from the trees. They did not move now. for they

had learned not to be afraid of him.

Quickly Laurie run into the house to watch from the k'.LChEll

window. Already the birds were gathered around the crumbs. How busy they were with tht-lr break. (list! What a great chirping and UV'lllCl'lTiR there was! Laurie could hear them through the ulndow.

”.Just see them with the crusts." he said. "There are two eating off the same piece 0! bread. Look at that little brown one carry- IHK H hlg big crumb in his mouth.

See all the biz birds that just came. They are black and their tails are short. Mommy, they

dont' hop like the sparrows. They seem to walk"

”Yes, they soon learn where to find food." said Mrs. Page. ”I think we'll have to put up a

feeding tray for the birds. Later on there will be lots of seeds and insects in the garden, hilt we would like the birds to stayarnuml here. one of these days you'll hear :1 little singing bird, and perhaps see I robin."

Three year old Laurie nodded his head. his eyes dark with won- der. ”0utdoora is a wonderful place, isn't it. Mommy? I can see so many things. I like the snow, but I guess I'll like the spring too when it carries. There's something in every day in make me happy. and that L! the way to be."
