The Nest

"I am working very hard," said the robin. "I am looking for straw to build my nest. I shall use some mud, too. I shall line it with soft grass. This will make a nice home for my baby birds." So she made the nest in the old apple tree. In a few days there were three little eggs in the nest. They were as blue as the sky. The mother bird sat on the eggs fourteen days. Soon there were three baby robins. They stretched their little necks and cried, "Peep, peep! Feed us!"
