. Fowls of the air [microform]. Birds; Game and game birds; Oiseaux; Gibier. Two barefcx>t boys with bowf and arrows were hunting, one September day, about the Qltg99gffe/M^s half-grown thickets of an old pasture. The ^Cll older was teaching the younger how to shoot. A robin, a red squirrel, and two or three spar- rows were stowed away in their jacket pockets; a brown rabbit hung from the older boy's shoulder. Suddenly the younger raised his bow and drew the arrow back to its head. Just in front a chickadee hung and twittered among the birch twigs. But the older boy seized his arm. " Don't shoot — don't shoot him I" he said. " But why not?" "'Cause you mustn't — you must never kill a chickadee." And the younger, influenced more by a certain mysterious shake of the head than by the words, slacked his bow cheerfully; and with a last wide-eyed look at the little gray bird that twittered and swung so fearlessly near them, the two boys went on with their hunting. No one ever taught the older boy to dis- criminate between a chickadee and other.
