healing foot troubles but whose
avocation is making friends with

like a little dog. As a reward, the
doctor catches bugs, grasshoppers
and worms for the turkey s meat
courses. No bird language is unin
telligible to the doctor who con
verses with his feathered guests.
Trees, bushes and plants also en
gage his attention 'and his friends
are loaded down with specimens he
has raised for them. Botanist, hu
