Excerpt from Mother West Wind How Stories

Peter rubbed the back of his neck, which ached because he had tipped his head back so long. Then he gave a little Sigh.

I wonder what it seems like to be able to ¿y like that, said he out loud, a way he sometimes has.

Are you envious? Asked a voice so close to him that Peter jumped. There was Sammy Jay Sitting in a little tree just over his head.

No!' snapped Peter, for it made him a wee bit cross to be so startled.

No, I'm not envious, Sammy Jay. I'm not envious of any bird. The ground is good enough for me. I was just wondering, that's all.
