Come to the window again, Baby.
Look out through the window.
Watch the little chickadee on the ground.
Stop, little bird! Come to the window.
Baby, did you see how he shook his tail?
He shook it and shook it and flew away.
I saw a little bird
Come, hop, hop, hop.
So I said, “Little bird,
Will you stop, stop, stop?”
And was going to the window
To say, “How do you do?”
But he shook his little tail
And then away he flew.

Baby, Frank caught an owl.
We have a little bat, too, Baby.
The owl was in the barn.
It made Max run. It flew at his head.
It was funny to see Max run.
Frank will show you the owl.
Frank, where are the owl and the bat?
Please show them to Mother and Baby.
Mother, look at the owl.
Look at this bat. It is a little one.
We will show them to Father.
He knows where there is an owl’s nest.
It makes a bed in a hole in a tree.
Baby, look at the little bat.
It looks like a mouse.
Bun has some rabbit cousins.
We saw one as we came home.
The one we saw lives in the woods.
It lives in a hole in the ground.
The little rabbit went hop, hop, hop.
It has a funny, little, white tail.
It did not look much like Bun.
We saw Mother Jet and her children.
We saw all of the other ducks.
Ducky Bet was with the other ducks.
Mother Jet said, “Cluck, cluck, cluck!
Come back, Baby duck, duck, duck!”

It is so pretty to-day.
Let us go out and swing Baby.
Grace, you may swing with Baby.
Come, Frank. Let us swing them.
Pull, Frank. Pull the swing back.
Now let it go again, Frank.
You may run under the swing, Max.
Don’t you hear the birds singing?
They say, “Sweet! Sweet! Sweet!”
Look up over your head at the birds.
Sing, Baby! Sing, Alice! Sing, boys!
