HOW tame this dear little canary is? He is perched upon the hand of his mistress, and is pecking at the lump of sugar she holds in the other hand.
If she had not been very kind to the little fellow, he would, not sit thus contentedly on her hand.
This sweet picture reminds me of a story I read of a little girl who lived in the country. Her father had a great many fowls, and he gave the care of them all to her. When she would call them to be fed they would run from all quarters, and some of them would fly upon her head and shoulders. They did this because she was the one who gave them what they needed, and she was always kind to them.
Let us learn lessons from her, and be ever ready to show kindness, and to help those who are in need.
