8 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ. Or. A Wednesday, Oct. 14, 1959 5 i55 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Hare's How It Ftl To Bo Born I?e could not straighten out feis neck or move a leg, let c&lone take a deep breath. Of course he didn't know much but he did have the instinct to wan to get out. He pushed and shoved. In the position he was lying he' could move his head a fraction of an inch. By push Bing with his legs and head atthe same time he could feel something give. He felt a strange and unknown soft ness touch a part of his body. Suddenly he had more room. He could even straight en out his neck and one leg was free. He wriggled and squirmed. Deafening Sounds To his ears came peculiar, unknown and deafening sounds. Something sharp pres sed against his side. He mov ed away from it. Wherever he moved the same warm soft ness surrounded him. Except at the bottom, that felt cold and exceedingly rough. To get Sway from its harshness he pushed himself upward. Then from one side came 0a blinding, light. He closed his eyes for a moment.

Tried To Adjust If he had thought about it he might have wished he was back in the egg again but the pulse of the world was beat ing on and he was a tiny part of it, so he adjusted him self to the strangeness and sat tightly in the nest. His body was drying in the warm air. It felt cold at first, until the dampness evap orated. Then the sun sent tiny shafts of light and warmth between the twigs and he was warm again. A movement beside him gave a start. When he look ed he saw a tiny, naked body burst forth from a smooth, roundish object that lay by his side. He didn't realize it at the time but he was watch ing, with his very own eyes, watery and bleary as they were, the actual birth of his sister. She, like him, was new ly hatched. They had ecsaped.
