    (continued from previous page)
    The robin gathers moss and packs it round the nest and then she lays her eggs and then she lies on them for a certain time till the birds come out. The old people say that if a person breaths on a nest the bird will forsake it and will never come back to it again. It is said that if the swallows are flying low that it is the sign of rain. The wren is the king of the birds.
