Yes, there could be no doubt of it, and as Tommy Smith came quite up to the tree, there was the woodpigeon sitting on one of the lowest branches, bowing to him quite politely, and asking him how he was. "Oh, I am quite well, Mr. Woodpigeon," answered Tommy Smith. "I hope you are." YES THERE COULD BE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT AND AS TOMMY SMITH CAME QUITE UP TO THE TREE THERE WAS THE WOODPIGEON SITTING ON ONE OF THE LOWEST BRANCHES BOWING TO HIM QUITE POLITELY AND ASKING HIM HOW HE WAS OH I AM QUITE WELL MISTER WOODPIGEON ANSWERED TOMMY SMITH I HOPE YOU ARE
 And, as he listened to it, all the woods seemed to grow hushed and still, as if they were listening too. “Oh,” said Tommy Smith, “it is no use pretending any more. That couldn’t be people. No men, and no women either, have such a pretty voice as that.” “Coo-oo-oo-oo, coo-oo-oo-oo,” said the voice. It had been some way off before, but now it sounded much nearer. “Coo-oo-oo-oo, coo-oo-oo-oo.” Why, surely it was in that tree, only just a little way from where Tommy Smith was sitting. “I will go and look,” he thought. “I know who it is. It is the woodpigeon. Perhaps he will stay and talk to me.” So he got up, and walked towards the tree. But—was it not strange?—as he came to it the voice seemed to change just a little. Only just a little; it had still the same pretty, soft sound, and the end part was just the same, but, instead of “Coo-oo-oo-oo, coo-oo-oo-oo,” which it had been saying before, now it was saying—yes, and quite distinctly too—“How do you do-oo-oo-oo? How do you do-oo-oo-oo?” ER SOUND BEGAN TO MINGLE WITH THE REST SUCH A PRETTY SUCH A VERY PRETTY SOUND OH SOFT AND SO TENDER AND SLEEPY LIKE A LULLABY TOMMY SMITH THOUGHT AND AS HE LISTENED TO IT ALL THE WOODS SEEMED TO GROW HUSHED AND STILL AS IF THEY WERE LISTENING TO OH SAID TOMMY SMITH IT IS NO USE PRETENDING ANY MORE THAT COULDN'T BE PEOPLE NO MEN NO WOMEN EITHER HAVE SUCH A PRETTY VOICE AS THAT COO COO SAID THE VOICE IT HAD BEEN SOME WAY OFF BEFORE BUT NOW IT SOUNDED MUCH NEARER COO COO WHY SURELY IT WAS IN THAT TREE JUST A LITTLE WAY FROM WHERE TOMMY SMITH WAS SITTING I WILL GO AND LOOK HE THOUGHT I KNOW WHO IT IS IT IS THE WOODPIGEON PERHAPS HE WILL STAY AND TALK TO ME SO HE GOT UP AND HE WALKED TOWARDS THE TREE BUT WAS IT NOT STRANGE AS HE CAME TO IT THE VOICE SEEMED TO CHANGE A LITTLE ONLY JUST A LITTLE IT HAD STILL THE SAME PRETTY SOFT SOUND AND THE END PART WAS JUST THE SAME BUT INSTEAD OF COO COO WHICH IT HAD BEEN SAYING BEFORE NOW IT WAS SAYING YES QUITE DISTINCTLY TOO HOW DO YOU DO HOW DO YOU DO
