The Woodman, No. 2
CHILDREN will remember going with A. Bonnet Laird on an imaginary country walk three weeks ago, and this afternoon they are to be taken again.
Perhaps snow will be on the ground and then they may be shown the patterns made by wild creatures-the criss-cross made by the feet of birds, the slothlike depressions made by the feet of rabbits.
Or perhaps nature will have painted the landscape with frost, and Bonnet Laird will point out how lovely a picture it can be. Or perhaps it will be one of those mild days when the birds think of nesting, and the first coltsfoot peeps yellow from the verge of the road.
For the spring is coming; in a month it will be here. Three weeks from now your friend, ' The Woodman ', will be telling you about the birds' nests ; some, like the robin's, hidden away in secret places, some, like the blackbird's, big and brazen for all to see.
