(continued from previous page)
feed it when it is hungry and no one not even a child will harm it. There was a boy who used to see a blackbird on a certain tree every evening. Each evening he used to whistle a few notes and the blackbird used to imitate him. He kept this up until the blackbird knew the whole tune. He brought the blackbird to America and he used to whistle there.
