You think that is very funny, and so you keep looking at him up in the air, and never think of looking on the ground where the eggs are." "Are the eggs laid on the ground?" said Tommy Smith.

Well, that is just the time when we lay our eggs. Now whilst the mother peewit is sitting quietly on her eggs, the father peewit keeps flying and tumbling about in the air. When you go for a walk over the fields, you do not notice the mother peewit on her eggs, for she sits quite still and never moves. But you can’t help noticing the father peewit, and you only think of him. If you happen to go too near the place where the eggs are, the father peewit comes quite close to you, and flies round and round your head, as I did just now. OOK FOR WORMS AND SLUGS AND CATERPILLARS FOR THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE EAT WE ARE HAPPY THEN TOO BUT NOT QUITE SO HAPPY AS WE ARE IN THE SPRINGTIME AND YOU WON'T SEE US PLAYING SUCH PRANKS THEN ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A GREAT MANY MORE OF US TOGETHER OH YES IT IS A GAME BUT IT IS A VERY USEFUL KIND OF GAME I CAN TELL YOU HOW IS IT USEFUL ASKED TOMMY SMITH WHY IT PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM FINDING OUR EGGS ANSWERED THE PEWIT I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT WE ONLY FLY LIKE THIS IN THE SPRING WELL THAT IS JUST THE TIME WHEN WE LAY OUR EGGS NOW WHILST THE MOTHER PEWIT IS SITTING QUIETLY ON HER EGGS THE FATHER PEWIT KEEPS FLYING AND TUMBLING ABOUT IN THE AIR AND WHEN YOU GO FOR A WALK OVER THE FIELDS YOU DO NOT NOTICE THE MOTHER PEWIT ON HER EGGS FOR SHE SITS QUITE STILL AND NEVER MOVES BUT YOU CAN'T HELP NOTICING THE FATHER PEWIT AND YOU ONLY THINK OF HIM IF YOU HAPPEN TO GO TOO CLOSE TO THE PLACE WHERE THE EGGS ARE THE FATHER PEWIT COMES QUITE CLOSE TO YOU AND FLIES AROUND AND AROUND YOUR HEAD AS I DID JUST NOW
