THE LARK AND HER NEST
A lark had made her nest in a field of wheat.
The wheat was almost ripe.
One day the old lark said to her young ones:
"The men will soon come to cut this wheat. You must watch for them and tell me all you see or hear while I am away."
Then she left them and went to get something for them to eat.
When she came home, she asked,
"Did you see or hear anything?"
"Yes, mother," said the young ones.
