One day g whole flock of little birds came together. “What is the matter?” asked the kind little bird doctor, “Are you on a sightseeing trip, or did you come to see a sick friend?” “We came to get fixed up,” spoke up one little bird. “We're hurt.” “Hurt!” exclaimed Doctor Bill in surprise. ‘All of you? Hurt! What happened?” “The roof fell in! What roof? Whose roof? Where do you live?” “Our roof,” answered the little bird. “I know it sounds funny, but we all live under one roof, about 200 of us.” “Oh, do you live in a bird house | 4 700%" asked Doctor Bill. “No, of course not," sald the lit tle bird. “We live right outside in a big tree but we have one roof Didn't you ever hear about us? Doctor Bill scratched his head “No, I didn't thing #0," he sald ‘What is your name? You look fort of like sparrows.” “We are called ‘weaver-birde’ and or we live in Africa,” said the little bird. “We live differently from most. birds. We make nests for each of our families just like robins or sparrows do, but a lot of us build in the same tree, “Then over the top of the tree we build a great thatched roof of xraws. We all work together and it takes a long time, but when we get it finished, it looks grand. Just exactly like a cottage where people live! Wo slope it down the sid and leave it high in the middle, that it keeps off both sun and rain Indeed, it looks like a great um brella.”” “Well, J declare!’ said Doctor Hil. “And js that the roof you are talking about?” 4, thi nodded the little Wird, “Or it, 1 should way You see, this year when we went back to our nests, there ome more weaver birds with us.

It looked simply fine—the biggest roof in the whole neighborhood. After working so hard we all went to bed to get a good night's rest, when crash! bang!
