There is a still stronger reason,” said the mother woodpigeon, “the strongest of _all_ reasons; at least, _I_ cannot imagine one stronger. It would be _unpigeonly_.” And from the tone in which she said this, Tommy Smith felt that it would be no use to say anything more on the subject. “If there was any water here,” said the father woodpigeon, “I would drink a little just to show you, but the nearest is some way off. However, you can watch some tame pigeons the next time they are drinking, for we all belong to one great family, and have the same ideas upon important points. Now I am going for a short fly, but if you like to stay and talk to my wife, I shall be back again in an hour.” But Tommy Smith had to go too, for his lessons began at eleven o’clock, and of course it would not do to miss them, though it seemed to him that he was getting a much better lesson from the woodpigeons. “But I wish,” he said, “before you fly away, Mr. Woodpigeon, you would just tell me what you do all day.” E DURING WHICH HE SEEMED TO BE THINKING THERE IS STILL A STRONGER REASON SAID THE MOTHER WOULD PIGEON THE STRONGEST OF ALL REASONS AT LEAST I CANNOT IMAGINE ONE STRONGER IT WOULD BE UNPIGEONLY AND FROM THE TONE IN WHICH SHE SAID THIS TOMMY SMITH FELT THAT IT WOULD BE NO USE TO SAY ANYTHING MORE ON THE SUBJECT IF THERE WAS ANY WATER HERE SAID THE FATHER WOODPIGEON I WOULD DRINK A LITTLE JUST TO SHOW YOU BUT THE NEAREST IS SOME WAY OFF HOWEVER YOU CAN WATCH SOME TAME PIGEONS THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE DRINKING FOR WE ALL BELONG TO ONE GREAT FAMILY AND HAVE THE SAME IDEAS UPON IMPORTANT POINTS NOW I AM GOING FOR A SHORT FLY BUT IF YOU LIKE TO STAY AND TALK TO MY WIFE I SHALL BE BACK AGAIN IN AN HOUR BUT TOMMY SMITH HAD TO GO TOO FOR HIS LESSONS BEGAN AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK AND OF COURSE IT WOULD NOT DO TO MISS THEM THOUGH IT SEEMED TO HIM THAT HE WAS GETTING A MUCH BETTER LESSON FROM THE WOODPIGEONS BUT I WISH HE SAID BEFORE YOU FLY AWAY MISTER WOODPIGEON YOU WOULD JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU DO ALL DAY
