But Tommy Smith did not think of this, for nobody had talked to him about it. All he thought of was how he could get the eggs, so that he could take them away with him, and show them to other boys. Ah! what was that? BUT TOMMY SMITH DID NOT THINK OF THIS FOR NOBODY HAD EVER TALKED TO HIM ABOUT IT ALL HE THOUGHT WAS HOW HE COULD GET THE EGGS SO THAT HE COULD TAKE THEM AWAY WITH HIM AND SHOW THEM TO THE OTHER BOYS AH WHAT WAS THAT
,—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. 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. It was the thought of those eggs, and of the mother bird sitting upon them, which made the lark himself sing so gladly up in the air, for, when he looked down, he fancied he could see them; and he knew that there was someone waiting for him there who would be glad to see him again, when he came down to roost.  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 WHO EVER HEARD HIM FEEL HAPPIER THAN THEY HAD FELT BEFORE 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 MAY 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 IT WAS THE THOUGHT OF THOSE EGGS AND OF THE MOTHER BIRD SITTING UPON THEM WHICH MADE THE LARK HIMSELF SING SO GLADLY UP IN THE AIR FOR WHEN HE LOOKED DOWN HE FANCIED HE COULD SEE THEM AND HE KNEW THAT THERE WAS SOME ONE WAITING FOR HIM THERE WHO WOULD BE GLAD TO SEE HIM WHEN HE CAME DOWN TO ROOST
