"The Curious Book of Birds" by Abbie Farwell Brown. The birds that it deals with are described in a vein of fancy, like Kipling's Creatures of the Jungle Book. They are more like fairy birds than those of the familiar bird-book variety; in fact, such birds as children conjure up for themselves -- birds that think and talk like people. The basis of the book is to be found in old stories and legends, from ancient sources, mostly European, but some of Oriental and African origin, and others from the American Indian folk-lore.

There are many bird guides written nowadays which will tell you about birds as folk of the twentieth century see them They describe carefully the singer s house his habits the number of his little wife s eggs and the color of every tiny feather on her pretty wings But these books tell you nothing at all about bird history about what birds have meant to all the generations of men women and children since the world began This book does just that There are many books written nowadays which will tell you about birds as folk of the twentieth century see them They describe carefully the singer s house his habits the number of his little wife s eggs and the color of every tiny feather on her pretty wings But these books tell you nothing at all about bird history about what birds have meant to all the generations of men women and children since the world began.

LONG, long ago, at the beginning of things, they say that the Lord made the world smooth and round like an apple. There were no hills nor mountains: nor were there any hollows or valleys to hold the seas and rivers, fountains and pools, which the world of men would need. It must, indeed, have been a stupid and ugly earth in those days, with no chance for swimming or sailing, rowing or fishing. But as yet there was no one to think anything about it, no one who would long to swim, sail, row, and fish. For this was long before men were created.The Lord looked about Him at the flocks of newly made birds, who were preening their wings and wondering at their own bright feathers, and said to Himself, -"I will make these pretty creatures useful, from the very beginning, so that in after time men shall love them dearly. Come, my birds," He cried, "come hither to me, and with the beaks which I have given you hollow me out HERE, and HERE, and HERE, basins for the lakes and pools which I intend to fill with water for men and for you, their friends. Come, little brothers, busy yourselves as you would wish to be happy hereafter."Then there was a twittering and fluttering as the good birds set to work with a will, singing happily over the work which their dear Lord had given them to do. They pecked and they pecked with their sharp little bills; they scratched and they scratched with their sharp little claws, till in the proper places they had hollowed out great basins and valleys and long river beds, and little holes in the ground

HE Goldfinch who lives in Europe is one of the gaudiest of the little feathered brothers. Heis a very Joseph of birds in his coat of many colors, and folk often wonder how he came to havefeathers so much more gorgeous than his kindred. But after you have read this tale you will wonderno longer.You must know that when the Father first made all the birds they were dressed alike in plumage ofsober gray. But this dull uniform pleased Him no more than it did the birds themselves, who beggedthat they might wear each the particular style which was most becoming, and by which they could berecognized afar.So the Father called the birds to Him, one by one, as they stood in line, and dipping His brush in therainbow color-box painted each appropriately in the colors which it wears to-day. (Except, indeed, that some had later adventures which altered their original hues, as you shall hear in due season.)But the Goldfinch did not come with the other birds. That tardy little fellow was busy elsewhere onhis own affairs and heeded not the Father's command to fall in line and wait his turn for being madebeautiful.So it happened that not until the painting was finished and all the birds had flown away to admirethemselves in the water-mirrors of the earth, did the Goldfinch present himself at the Father's feetout of breath."O Father!" he panted, "I am late. But I was so busy! Pray forgive me and permit me to have a prettycoat like the others.""You are late indeed," said the Father reproachfully, "and all the coloring has been done. You shouldhave come when I bade you. Do you not know that it is the prompt bird who fares best? Myrainbow color-box has been generously used, and I have but little of each tint left. Yet I will paintyou with the colors that I have, and if the result be ill you have only yourself to blame."The Father smiled gently as He took up the brush which He had laid down, and dipped it in the firstcolor which came to hand. This He used until there was no more, when He began with anothershade, and so continued until the Goldfinch was completely colored from head to foot. Such agorgeous coat! His forehead and throat were of the most brilliant crimson. His cap and sailor collarwere black. His back was brown and yellow, his breast white, his wings golden set off with velvetblack, and his tail was black with white-tipped feathers. Certainly there was no danger of his beingmistaken for any other bird.When the Goldfinch looked down into a pool and saw the reflection of his gorgeous coat, he burstout into a song of joy. "I like it, oh, I like it!" he warbled, and his song was very sweet. "Oh, I amglad that I was late, indeed I am, dear Father!

The Lord looked about Him at the flocks of newly made birds, who were preening their wings and wondering at their own bright feathers, and said to Himself, - "I will make these pretty creatures useful, from the very beginning, so that in after time men shall love them dearly. Come, my birds," He cried, "come hither to me, and with the beaks which I have given you hollow me out here, and here, and here, basins for the lakes and pools which I intend to fill with water for men and for you, their friends. Come, little brothers, busy yourselves as you would wish to be happy hereafter." Then there was a twittering and fluttering as the good birds set to work with a will, singing happily over the work which their dear Lord had given them to do. They pecked and they pecked with their sharp little bills; they scratched and they scratched with their sharp little claws, till in the proper places they had hollowed out great basins and valleys and long river beds, and little holes in the ground. Then the Lord sent great rains upon the earth until the hollows which the birds had made were filled with water, and so became rivers and lakes, little brooks and fountains, just as we see them to-day. Now it was a beautiful, beautiful world, and the good birds sang happily and rejoiced in the work which they had helped, and in the sparkling water which was sweet to their taste. All were happy except one. The Woodpecker had taken no part with the other busy birds. She was a lazy, disobedient creature, and when she heard the Lord's commands she had only said, "Tut tut!" and sat still on the branch where she had perched, preening her pretty feathers and admiring her silver stockings. "You can toil if you want to," she said to the other birds who wondered at her, "but I shall do no such dirty work. My clothes are too fine." Now when the world was quite finished and the beautiful water sparkled and glinted here and there, cool and refreshing, the Lord called the birds to Him and thanked them for their help, praising them for their industry and zeal. But to the Woodpecker He said, - "As for you, O Woodpecker, I observe that your feathers are unruffled by work and that there is no spot of soil upon your beak and claws. How did you manage to keep so neat?" The Woodpecker looked sulky and stood upon one leg. "It is a good thing to be neat," said the Lord, "but not if it comes from shirking a duty. It is good to be dainty, but not from laziness. Have you not worked with your brothers as I commanded you?" "It was such very dirty work," piped the Woodpecker crossly; "I was afraid of spoiling my pretty bright coat and my silver shining hose."
