A SINGING BIRD
1. When Betty was digging in her garden, a little bird paid it a visit.
2. It perched on a tree right near her, and began to sing its song.
3. "Oh! What a sweet song and what a lovely bird!" said the little girl. "I must get Grand-pa to come and hear it."
4. She ran into the house and soon came out with Grand-pa.
They both heard the bird's song.
5. "Go for Grand-ma, my dear," said Grand-pa.
Soon Betty came out with Grand-ma by the hand.
6. Then Grand-pa, Grand-ma and Betty heard the song.
7. "Run in and tell Aunt Kate to come," said Grand-ma.
So Betty ran in for Aunt Kate.
8. Then Grand-pa, Grand-ma, Aunt Kate and Betty heard the song.
9. "Do go for Uncle Jack, Betty," said Aunt Kate.
Out came Uncle Jack.
10. Then there were Grand-pa, Grand- ma, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jack and Betty to hear the song.
11. "I must bring Mummy and Daddy to hear it," said Betty.
12. So then Grand-pa, Grand-ma, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jack, Mummy, Daddy and Betty heard the song.
