Norwich. Conguering, the Robin, This spring I have seen many birds. I like to listen to their songs and hear the bluejay calling *“Thief, Thief,” and the robin “Cheer-up, cheer-up.” One day when T was looking out'of the window I saw a robin being- chased by some sparrows. He had a piece of bread in his mouth. They were trying to get It away from him but could not. They hopped and hopped, try- ing to catch the robin and get the bread. At last one succeeded, and grabbed it and flew away, with'the sparfows scolding and flying' after it.. The robin that' morn- ing had only worms for breakfast. AUSTIN B. COVEY, Age 10, Norwich.
