The Birds of Killingworth
The Birds of Killingworth
Adapted from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It was spring everywhere. The robin and the bluebird were piping sweetly in the orchard. The sparrows were chirping, and hungry crows were calling loudly for food. The farmers of Killingworth were plowing the fields.
A farmer heard the cawing of the crows and the song of the birds.
He said, "Did you ever see so many birds? When we plant our seeds, these birds will take them all. When the fruit ripens, they will destroy it. I, for one, wish there were no birds, and I say kill them all."
Find out what happens when they kill all the birds in Killingworth.
