But what was little Tommy Smith doing to show how grateful he was to the bird that gave him so much pleasure? Why, I am sorry to say that he was trying to find the poor lark's nest, so that he might take away the eggs which were in it,—those eggs which the mother lark had been taking so much trouble to keep warm, so that little baby larks might come out of them, which she meant to feed and take care of till they were grown up, and could fly and sing like herself.

All the air was full of melody, so that it seemed to Tommy Smith as if he had somehow got inside a very large musical box, which _would_ keep on playing. And so he had, _really_, only it was Nature’s great musical box,—the music was immortal, and the works were alive. Far up in the sky the lark was doing his very best to please little Tommy Smith and everybody else, for he made whoever heard him feel happier than they had felt before.
