every part of him. In fact, this bird was playing the strangest antics. Sometimes he would clap his wings together above his back, at least Tommy Smith thought he did; and then he would make such a swishing and whizzing with them, that really it was quite a loud noise—almost like a steam-engine. Then, all at once, he would turn sideways and make a dive down towards the ground, and sometimes (this was the funniest trick of all) he would tumble right over in the air, as if he had lost his balance and was really falling. If Tommy Smith had ever seen a tumbler pigeon it would have reminded him of one, but he never had. And all the while this bird kept on calling out, “Pee-wee-eet! pee-wee-eet!” as if he wanted Tommy Smith to speak to him, as, perhaps, he did. “I know what bird _you_ are,” said Tommy Smith. “I have often seen you flying over the fields, but you have never come so close to me before. I think your name is”— “Pee-wee-eet! pee-wee-eet! That is my name. They call me the peewit.” G ABOUT IN THE AIR AS HE FLEW SO THAT TOMMY SMITH COULD SEE EVERY PART OF HIM IN FACT THIS BIRD WAS PLAYING THE STRANGEST ANTICS SOMETIMES HE WOULD CLAP HIS WINGS TOGETHER ABOVE HIS BACK AT LEAST TOMMY SMITH THOUGHT HE DID AND THEN HE WOULD MAKE SUCH A SWISHING AND WHIZZING WITH THEM THAT REALLY IT WAS QUITE A LOUD NOISE ALMOST LIKE A STEAM ENGINE THEN ALL AT ONCE HE WOULD TURN SIDEWAYS AND MAKE A DIVE DOWN TOWARDS THE GROUND AND SOMETIMES THIS WAS THE FUNNIEST TRICK OF ALL HE WOULD TUMBLE RIGHT OVER IN THE AIR AS IF HE HAD LOST HIS BALANCE AND WAS REALLY FALLING IF TOMMY SMITH HAD EVER SEEN A TUMBLER PIGEON IT WOULD HAVE REMINDED HIM OF ONE BUT HE NEVER HAD AND ALL THE WHILE THIS BIRD KEPT CALLING OUT PEE WEE IT PEE WEE IT AS IF HE WANTED TOMMY SMITH TO SPEAK TO HIM PERHAPS HE DID I KNOW WHAT BIRD YOU ARE SAID TOMMY SMITH I HAVE OFTEN SEEN YOU FLYING OVER THE FIELDS BUT YOU HAVE NEVER COME SO CLOSE TO ME BEFORE I THINK YOUR NAME IS PEE IT PEWEEOT THAT'S MY NAME THEY CALL ME THE PEEWIT
