 be very sorry if I couldn’t get any,—I know that. It would be a nice thing, indeed, if one couldn’t have a few stones to eat with one’s meals. That would be a good joke.” Tommy Smith thought that _he_ wouldn’t think it a joke to _have_ to eat stones, and he could hardly believe that the woodpigeon was speaking the truth. But he was such an innocent-looking bird, and seemed so _very_ respectable, that he thought he must be. “Are they very large stones?” he asked at last. “Oh no,” answered the woodpigeon. “They are not large, but very small—just the right size to go into my mill.” “Into your mill?” said Tommy Smith. “Yes,” said the woodpigeon; “the little mill which is inside me.” Tommy Smith was getting more and more puzzled. What could the woodpigeon mean? “And yet he is such a nice bird,” he said to himself. “I don’t think he would tell stories.” “I see that you don’t understand me,” said the woodpigeon; “so, if you like, I will explain it all to you.” “Oh, I should so like to know!” ON I KNOW YOU DON'T EAT THEM OH DON'T I SAID THE WOODPIGEON I SHOULD BE VERY SORRY IF I COULDN'T GET ANY I KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE A NICE THING INDEED IF ONE COULDN'T HAVE A FEW STONES TO EAT WITH ONE'S MEAL THAT WOULD BE A GOOD JOKE TOMMY SMITH THOUGHT THAT HE WOULDN'T THINK IT A JOKE TO HAVE TO EAT STONES AND HE COULD HARDLY BELIEVE THE WOODPIGEON WAS SPEAKING THE TRUTH BUT HE WAS SUCH AN INNOCENT LOOKING BIRD AND SEEMED SO VERY RESPECTABLE THAT HE THOUGHT HE MUST BE ARE THEY VERY LARGE STONES HE ASKED AT LAST OH NO ANSWERED THE WOODPIGEON THEY ARE NOT LARGE BUT VERY SMALL JUST THE RIGHT SIZE TO GO INTO MY MILL INTO YOUR MILL SAID TOMMY SMITH YES SAID THE WOODPIGEON THE LITTLE MILL WHICH IS INSIDE ME TOMMY SMITH WAS GETTING MORE AND MORE PUZZLED WHAT COULD THE WOODPIGEON MEAN AND YET HE WAS SUCH A NICE BIRD HE SAID TO HIMSELF I DON'T THINK HE WOULD TELL STORIES I SEE THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME SAID THE WOODPIGEON SO IF YOU LIKE I WILL EXPLAIN IT ALL TO YOU OH I SHOULD SO LIKE TO KNOW
