Then he looked up to find the nest from which they had fallen. It was high, much higher than he could reach.
Soon the three lawyers who had ridden ahead stopped at a spring to give their horses water.
In a few minutes Mr. Lincoln joined them. His shoes were covered with mud; he had torn his coat on the thorny tree.
"Well, we always thought you were a hero," said Mr. Speed. "Now we know it."
"Hello, Abraham!" said Mr. Hardin. "Where have you been?"
"Oh, well! They're nothing but birds," said Mr. Hardin. "Why should we bother?"
"Yes, why should we?" said Mr. Speed.
"Do you remember those birds?" said Mr. Speed. "Very likely he has stopped to take care of them."
"What is the matter here?" asked the first lawyer, whose name was Speed. "Oh, it's only some old robins,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!" said the second lawyer, whose name was Hardin.
The four lawyers rode along, one behind another; for the pathway was narrow, and the mud on each side of it was deep. They rode slowly, and talked and
But Mr. Lincoln could climb. He had climbed many a tree when he was a boy. He put the birds softly, one by one, into their warm little home. Two other baby

One day in spring four men were riding on horseback along a country road. These men were lawyers, and they were going to the next town to attend court.

Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. In a few minutes they had forgotten about the birds.
Then all three of them laughed heartily. They thought it so foolish that a strong man should take so much trouble just for some worthless young birds.

All were surprised to find that he was not with them.
