- The swallows build their nests in an out house in a corner. They make it of mud & hay.
Once upon a time there was a man in the country in which I live. Every day when he was milking the cows the swallows came with mud to make their nests. This day as he was coming out of the a swallow flew over his head & he was tormented with them he had a sprong in his hand & he knocked down the nest. Next morning when he went to milk the cows he found two lying dead & two more went dry.
