The sun was not up yet in the east, when Robin Redbreast took his place on the Ihlghest branch ot the great elm tree and began his mcrnis .solo. j Ron wai . very hapjy that morning for he had just returned Ifrom the south where he had been for the winter months. Tie was happy for Jennie Browncoat and " he were to - have their nest in the old elm that year their first nest, house. - Robin had come-to-the old elm a tiny little putt-ball the year be fore, for the Redbreast family liv ed there. When the little eggs were hatched out by faithful Mrs. Redbreast, Robin and two sisters came to gladden the nest. How Mr. Redbreast sang that morning. Robin grew rapidly and was soon strong enough to leave the nest and hop about the yard, gather bugs and worms and consume any number of .insects that are a nui sance to the garden. ; Over in the adjoining yard, the Browncoat family had its' home in a large maple 4 tree. Now the Browncoat family consisted that year of father and mother Brown coat and one tiny baby, Jennie Browncoat.' Jennie had two fine little brothers, but one day they fell from the nest and Jennie nev er saw them again. She was afraid to look over the! edge of the nest or she might fait,' too. When she was large enough to fly she used to hunt for bugs and Insects in the- garden along with Robin, and they - became -rerygood frlandav They would fly short races, and usually she would, win, especially if there were ininy short turns in the course. ! Sometimes merry-go-round games, dlpplng-the-dlps and hide-and-seek among . the branch es of the old elm or maple tree. 5 When ' the families went south for the winter, it so happened that the Red breast -and the Browncoat families went together. ". That was fine for the young folks, for Rob la's sisters were i very-fond of Jen nie, while Mr. and Mrs.: Redbreast and Mr- and Mrs. Browncoat had always been the best; of friends and- neighbors, "j They had a very happy , time - on the trip- south.
