- (continued from previous page)Ireland visited St. Colombia in exile.
The blackbird was supposed to have dipped it's bill in honey which gave it its golden colour.
At one time the crow was unable to put a cover on its nest. The magpie agreed to teach it. They got on very well together until the nest was completed. The thorny top still remained to be put on, every stick the magpie placed on the nest, it called to attention of the crow the way it was laid. The crow kept saying "I know, I know," until at length the magpie could bear it no longer. The magpie shouted to the crow,"if you know so much about it , finish it", He then flew away.
