The Bird’s Friends

It’s a cold winter day. Nora and John are at home. It’s warm in the room. They are sitting near the window. Nora looks out of the window and sees a little bird. She says to John, “Oh, look, John! There is a little bird in the tree. I think the bird is cold and wants to eat.’’

“Let’s give it some bread and apples,” says John.

“That’s a good idea. Birds like fruit.”

The children give the bird some bread and an apple. The bird eats the bread and the apple and says, “Pe-pe-pe!”

Do you know what the bird says? It says, “Thank you very much, Nora and John!”
