I gave some hairs the nest to
make,
a But the nest I did not take:
===> Not I, said the dog, bow-wow!
I would not be so mean, I vow.
Coo-coo! coo-coo! coo-coo!
Let me speak a word or two:
Who stole that pretty nest
From little Robin Redbreast ?
Not I, said the sheep; oh, no,
I would not treat a poor bird
SO ;
I gave the wool the nest to line,
But the nest was none of mine.
Baa! baa! said the sheep; oh,
no!
I wouldn't treat a poor bird so.
“4 Caw! caw! cried the crow,
I should like to know
What thief took away
A bird s-nest to-day.
