. There was once a little house out In tho
deep forest.
There was a man and his son who lived
there. The boy's mother was dead.'

animals.
Mr. flrown (for that was tho father s '
name) would sit up nlhts and guard tho
house. Johnny (which Is the boy's name)
would sit up nights and guard tho liouae
also.
It was winter time, for there was a white
blanket spread over the earth.
One night while Johnnny was guarding
lie fell asleep, and while he was asleep a
white bear, who had been hiding behind
some bushes, crept In. There was a nice
warm fire In the fireplace, and the bear put
all the flro out but Just a little spark.
After he was through, he crept out so no
vbody would hear him.
There was a robin sitting in the tree
watching. After the bear went out the
robin flew In, and fanned and fanned the
spark until It burnt his breast and this
Is why robins are called "Robin red breast."
