A Story
21st July 1938
There lived a very happy old couple a long time ago. One day the man of the house caught a bird. He didn't know what the name of the bird was but he thought it was a blackbird. His wife said it was a thrush. They began to fight over the bird. The man said it was a blackbird and his wife said it was a thrush. They made a cage for the bird. Almost every day they fought over this bird. They kept the bird for over a year and they let her go away and either of them knew what bird was she.
