If you listen any time in the day, you can hear him sing.
On warm days he likes to sit in the shade among the green leaves.
He can see the busy bees when they fly to the flowers to get honey.
He sees the green apples about him, but he does not like them. He would not eat them if they were ripe and sweet.
At night he can look up from his place in the tree and see the bright stars in the sky. Some times he can see the moon, too, as it shines above him.
Sometimes the Pussy Cat comes under his tree and looks up at him; but she can not get him.
She sits under the tree and wishes that she could catch him.
Do you know why she wants the bird? Do you know what she would do if she could get him?
