The Little Robin

        The little robin pecked at the trail of small yellow seeds lying on the snow. Keeping an eye out for any kind of danger, the little robin hopped forward to reach more seeds. Repeating his movements, the robin followed the trail to the door. There waiting for him was the lady.
        "Come on, little robin," she said.
        The little robin tilted his head at her and broke into song. The lady smield and poured a handful of honey covered bread crumbs on the floor. The little robin hopped up and started pecking at them, singing in between bites.
        After a minute the little robin flew off leaving the crumbs barely touched. Puzzled, the lady left the crumbs there with hopes that the little robin would return. Usually he stayed until they were all gone.
        A few minutes later the little robin returned, bringing with him a little girl robin. The lady smiled and laid out more crumbs.
        "So," she said to the little robin. "You've brought your little girlfriend!"
    The little robin answered by going into a happy song which the little girl robin joined. The lady smiled again and waited for them to finish. After they flew away she happily cleaned up what was left. She knew the little robins would come back every day through the whole winter.
