Men hearing it to-day, say, "Listen, a hermit thrush! What a beautiful song! But he is such a shy bird, one seldom can catch a glimpse of him."
They do not know why he keeps so close under cover.
HOW GOOD AND EVIL CAME TO BE
Every boy has wondered how there came to be two of him.
Every girl has puzzled over how she happened to be twins. Sometimes she is the good girl,—sometimes a naughty one.
The Indians say this is how it happened.
The world was very young. There was no earth, only a cloud-like sea.
The sea was filled with water animals, and water birds flew over it. All was dark. Light had not yet come.
Then the cloud-sea began to call for light. The Great Spirit heard, and said, "It shall be so. I will make a new place for man to live in."
