Σελίδα 254 - ... corner for a place in which to build, and the robins and chippingsparrows explore every tree in the old orchard. If the birds want to live with us, we should encourage them. The first thing to do is to let them alone. Let them be as free from danger and fear as you or I. Take the hammer off the old gun, give pussy so much to eat that she will not care to hunt for birds, and keep away the boys who steal eggs and who carry sling-shots and throw stones.

Σελίδα 435 - One would approach at first warily through the shrub-oaks, running over the snow-crust by fits and starts like a leaf blown by the wind, now a few paces this way, with wonderful speed and waste of energy, making inconceivable haste with his 'trotters...
Σελίδα 212 - ... disappeared entirely. He proved to be a very restless sleeper, and frequently showed himself during the sunniest parts of nearly every day all winter, occasionally coming entirely out of his earthy covering. He served as a sort of barometer all winter, appearing and disappearing according to bright or gloomy weather. He never, however, left the spot he had chosen for his bed. " Winter is the night of the year," and the little terrarium world indoors exemplifies it as truly as the great fields...
Σελίδα 435 - ... as if it were for a wager, and now as many paces that vvay, but never getting on more than half a rod at a time ; and then suddenly pausing with a ludicrous expression and a gratuitous somerset, as if all the eyes in the universe were fixed on him, — for all the motions of a squirrel, even...
Σελίδα 395 - JACK in the pulpit Preaches to-day Under the green trees Just over the way. Squirrel and song-sparrow High on their perch Hear the sweet lily-bells Ringing to church.
Σελίδα 379 - ... become interested in everything that lives and grows. It does not matter so very much just what kinds of plants one grows, as it does that he grows something and grows it the best that he knows how. We want the children to grow these plants for the love of it, — that is, for the fun of it, — and so we propose that they grow flowers; for when one grows pumpkins and potatoes, and such things, he is usually thinking of how much money he is going to make at the end of the season.
