said Tommy Smith. "Of course I do," said the mother woodpigeon. "We sleep in trees. They are the only beds we should care to trust ourselves to." "Aren't they rather hard?" said Tommy Smith. "Not at all," said the woodpigeon. "You see, we have our own feathers, so that makes them feather beds.

aid, “before you fly away, Mr. Woodpigeon, you would just tell me what you do all day.” But as Tommy Smith said this, there was a rustle and a clapping of wings, and the father woodpigeon was gone. “He is so impetuous,” said the mother woodpigeon. “There is no stopping him when he wants to do anything. But _I_ will tell you what we do all day, so listen. We rise early, of course, and fly down to breakfast at about six. After three or four hours we come back to the woods again, and coo and talk to each other there for about an hour. Then we go off to drink and to bathe, which is the nicest part of the whole day. After that we feel a little tired and sleepy, so we sit quietly in the woods till about two. Then it is quite time for dinner, so off we go again and feed till about five. After dinner it is best to sit quiet and coo a little. A quiet coo aids digestion. Then we have a nice refreshing drink in the cool of the evening, and after that we go straight to tree.” “Do you mean to bed?” M THE WOODPIGEONS BUT I WISH HE SAID BEFORE YOU FLY AWAY MISTER WOODPIGEON YOU WOULD JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU DO ALL DAY BUT AS TOMMY SMITH SAID THIS THERE WAS A RUSTLE AND A CLAPPING OF WINGS AND THE FATHER WOODPIGEON WAS GONE HE IS SO IMPETUOUS SAID THE MOTHER WOODPIGEON THERE IS NO STOPPING HIM WHEN HE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING BUT I WILL TELL YOU WHAT WE DO ALL DAY SO LISTEN WE RISE EARLY OF COURSE AND FLY DOWN TO BREAKFAST AT ABOUT SIX AFTER THREE OR FOUR HOURS WE COME BACK TO THE WOODS AGAIN AND COO AND TALK TO EACH OTHER THERE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THEN WE GO OFF TO DRINK AND TO BATHE WHICH IS THE NICEST PART OF THE WHOLE DAY AFTER THAT WE FEEL A LITTLE TIRED AND SLEEPY SO WE SIT QUIETLY IN THE WOODS TILL ABOUT TWO THEN IT IS QUITE TIME FOR DINNER SO OFF WE GO AGAIN AND FEED UNTIL ABOUT FIVE AFTER DINNER IT IS BEST TO SIT QUIET AND COOL A LITTLE A QUIET COO AIDS DIGESTION THEN WE HAVE A NICE REFRESHING DRINK IN THE COOL OF THE EVENING AND AFTER THAT WE GO STRAIGHT TO TREE DO YOU MEAN TO BED
