THE STORY OF THE SPARROWS.
THE STORY OF THE SPARROWS.
E are little English sparrows. We have been two years in America. We were brought over by Mr. Wakefield's gardener. He let us loose in the grove; and there we have been ever since.
Mr. Wakefield has built little houses for us, and put them on the boughs of the trees. We go into these houses when it rains hard or blows. Once the doors of our houses were all blocked up with snow.
The winters here are much colder than in England, where we were born. More snow falls, and thicker ice forms here. But we like our new home very well.
