1.The nest is ready at last！Do you see how strongly it is tied to these three little twigs？How firm it is！You could hardly pull it to pieces.
2.Peep into the nest and see the soft lining of feathers and wool.Why do you think it was made so soft？It was for the little birds that were coming，of course.
3.Sure enough，one morning I leaned far out of the window，and saw five little eggs close together in the nest.
4.But I did not get much chance to look at them，I can tell you；for the mother bird would hardly leave the nest for a moment.
5.There she sat in the long May days and warm，still nights.Who but a mother would be so kind？
6.She did not mind the pain in her back or the stiffness in her legs，but sat quite still all the time.It was very hard；for all the other birds were having grand fun in the bright sunshine.
7.At last I was awakened one morning by such a chirping and singing！I knew in a minute what it all meant.I knew that where the night before there had been two birds and five eggs，there were now seven birds and nothing but egg shells！
8.The papa bird could hardly wait for me to dress，but flew off and on the window-sill，saying，“Why don‘t you get up？Why don’t you get up？You‘re very lazy！Be quick！Be quick！I have five little birds.
9.”They came out of their shells this morning.They are so hungry that I can’t get enough for them to eat.
10.“Why don‘t you get up，I say？I have five little birds，and I am looking after them while my wife is off taking a rest.”
