As for the other birds—well, look at the cuckoo. What do you think of the way in which _he_ flies? Why, he just goes along without doing anything at all. Do you think _he_ could turn head over heels or make the noise with his wings that I do? If he can, then why doesn't he? I should just like to know that." AS FOR THE OTHER BIRDS WHAT LOOK AT THE CUCKOO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE WAY IN WHICH HE FLIES WHY HE JUST GOES ALONG WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING AT ALL DO YOU THINK HE COULD TURN HEAD OVER HEELS OR MAKE THE NOISE WITH HIS WINGS THAT I DO IF HE CAN THEN WHY DOESN'T HE I SHOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW THAT
s why it is so wrong to kill them. For when you kill an animal, you take some of the happiness that was in the world out of it, and you can never put it back there again, however much you try.” “I never will kill animals any more,” said Tommy Smith. “But now, Mr. Peewit, won’t you tell me something about yourself? Do _you_ do any clever things as well as the other animals that I have spoken to?” “Why, haven’t you seen the way I tumble about in the air?” said the peewit. “And don’t you think that _that_ is very clever? You couldn’t do it yourself, however much you were to try.” “No,” said Tommy Smith, “but then _I_ have not got wings, you know. Perhaps if I _had_ got wings, I would be able to do it as well as you.” “Do you think so?” said the peewit. “That is only because you are very conceited. Why, even the swallow can’t do it. _He_ is a splendid flier, and goes very fast. But, though you were to watch him for a whole day, you would not see him do such funny things in the air as I do. OH YES THE PEWIT ANSWERED THEY ALL ENJOY THEIR LIFE THAT IS WHY IT IS SO WRONG TO KILL THEM FOR WHEN YOU KILL AN ANIMAL YOU TAKE SOME OF THE HAPPINESS THAT WAS IN THE WORLD OUT OF IT AND YOU CAN NEVER PUT IT BACK THERE AGAIN HOWEVER MUCH YOU TRY I NEVER WILL KILL ANIMALS ANY MORE SAID TOMMY SMITH BUT NOW MISTER PEWIT WON'T YOU TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF DO YOU DO ANY CLEVER THINGS AS WELL AS THE OTHER ANIMALS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO WHY HAVEN'T YOU SEEN THE WAY I TUMBLE ABOUT IN THE AIR SAID THE PEEWIT AND DON'T YOU THINK THAT THAT WAS VERY CLEVER YOU COULDN'T DO IT YOURSELF HOWEVER MUCH YOU WERE TO TRY NO SAID TOMMY SMITH WITH AN I HAVE NOT GOT WINGS YOU KNOW PERHAPS IF I HAD GOT WINGS I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT AS WELL AS YOU DO YOU THINK SO SAID THE PEWIT THAT IS ONLY BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY CONCEITED WHY EVEN THE SWALLOW CAN'T DO IT HE IS A SPLENDID FLIER AND GOES VERY FAST BUT THOUGH YOU WERE TO WATCH HIM FOR A WHOLE DAY YOU WOULD NOT SEE HIM DO SUCH FUNNY THINGS IN THE AIR AS I DO
