the Old Oak Tree
Onceupon a timethere was an OldOak Tree in agentleman’s park. It grew beside ariver, and stretched out its longstrong arms, covered with thickgreen ivy, as if welcoming everybodyto its shelter.
Onceupon a timethere was an OldOak Tree in agentleman’s park. It grew beside ariver, and stretched out its longstrong arms, covered with thickgreen ivy, as if welcoming everybodyto its shelter.
A number of animals took advantageof its invitations:
First, at the foot of it, lived Bunnythe Rabbit, with Mrs. Bunny, his wife,and a fine family of sixteen children.There they ran in and out, co*cking uptheir little white tails, and popping intotheir hole as quick as lightning the momentthey saw anybody coming.
Jerry, the Squirrel, who lived highup in the tree, used to look down andpity Mr. Bunny very much; for he was sopoor, had such a large family,and not a single nut laid byfor the winter! But Bunnyknew better; and when he,Mrs. Bunny, and the littlegray Bunnies were huddledtogether so warm on a winter’snight, he used to listen to thewind, and say, “Poor Jerry!how cold it must be up there!”But Jerry could wrap his tailround his neck like a boa, and fall sound asleep on thetree-top.
Below Jerry’s house, where the ivy was thickest, livedCozie Cowl, the Owl, with his wise nose, and his greatyellow staring eyes. He kept a singing-school at night,and when all the other birds were sleeping you might hearCozie Cowl and the Misses Cozie Cowl all singing, “Tu-whit!Tu-who-o!”
Then, among the ivy was a Robin Redbreast, a pair ofBlackbirds, and two lovely Tomtit*; there was also a noisyfamily of Jackdaws, Mr. and Mrs. Ray by name, in a holein the trunk, which they called “Heart of Oak Hall;” and,highest of all, lived a quiet old fisherman, called Longlegs,the Heron.
Most peaceably they all lived together, always polite andneighbourly. They sang their best songs; and the Squireused to look up and say,—“Ah! there is no tree so full ofmusic as the Old Oak.”
One day a pair of new-comers came to the Old Oak Tree,and began to settle themselves and build their nest. Mr. andMrs. Jay (for thatwas their name) weremost beautiful birds,with crests on theirheads and prettyblue feathers ontheir wings; buttheir voices wereloud and sharp, andthey seemed to bealways scolding.
They were fullof curiosity abouttheir neighbours,and peeped into everybody’shouse. “Whydo you live down there, Mr. Bunny?”said Mrs. Jay; “I’m sure your house must be damp, andunhealthy for the children.”
Then they attacked Cozie Cowl:—“If you would only keepdecent hours, and come out the proper time of day, Mr. CozieCowl, it would do you a world of good.” And Cozie, with allhis wisdom, was so silly as to believe them, and came tumblingout of his hole in the ivy, looking so foolish that the mischievousJays laughed at him, and pecked at him till he crept into hiscorner again.
“As for you, Jerry,” said Mrs. Jay, “I don’t believe youare a bit comfortable up there. Why don’t you marry MissHedgehog, and set up house decently?”
And so these two naughty birds made everybody uncomfortable,and taught those who had been contented before todespise their own houses and lonely life; till at last, insteadof sweet songs, there was nothing but complaints and noises;and, loudest of all, the sharp harsh cries of Mr. and Mrs. Jaywere heard from the tree.
One day, the Squire and his lady, with their children, camepast: “What disagreeable noise is that? Oh, I see now, it isthe Jays in that oak—what pretty birds!” “Verypretty, my dear,” said her husband, “but insufferablynoisy: we must get rid of them.”And before night a gun went bang!and again bang! and down went Mr.Jay and Mrs. Jay, with all their finefeathers. And thus was peace restoredto the Old Oak.
About this time, Jerry, who wasa great favourite with everybody,took to himself a nice little wife;and, in honour of the event, Mr.and Mrs. Cozie Cowl determinedto give a grand tea party. It was difficult to fix upon a goodhour, because, if it was during the daylight, Cozie Cowl wouldbe sure to fall asleep, and if it was at night, no oneelse would be awake. So Mrs. Cozie,like a wise bird as she was, fixed onthe twilight hour, when the moon wouldrise soon and serve them for a lamp.
What a nice feast she prepared forthem! The best of nuts and acornsfor Jerry and his wee wife, beautiful dandelions for the Bunnyfamily, pretty speckled trout for Longlegs the Heron, grubsand grains for the Jackdaws, and lovely fat worms for theBlackbird and Robin Redbreast; while for Cozie himself shegot the very thing in the world he liked best—a particularlynasty dead mouse! Altogether there never was such a merryparty in the Old Oak Tree.
They sat a long time talking of many things, and at last theybegan to talk about their great neighbours in the big househard by. “The Squire’s gardener is the best of men,” saidRobin Redbreast; “he has been digging up worms for mesince six o’clock this morning!” “But what do you think ofthe lady herself?” said Bunny; “I heard her orderhim to fill the flower-beds with carnations, my own favouritefood!” and the sixteen little Bunnies co*cked up their long earsat the thought. “I know,” said the Blackbird, “the Squire’scherries are the best in the country. I am so much obligedto him.” “Yes,” said the Jackdaw, “and the people who haveput up the telegraph wires for us to sit upon!”
“My friends,” said Cozie, “you know nothing about it.I fly about by night, and know more than you do. I heardthe gardener ordered to shoot the Blackbirds who ate thecherries; to set traps for the rabbits; and I heard my lady sayshe would like to have you, Jerry, my boy, running round thetreadmill in her Squirrel-cage! But as for the telegraph wires,they must have been put up for us to sit upon!” At this pointMrs. Cozie volunteered a song; on which all the birds said“Good-night” in a desperate hurry.
Emrik & Binger, Lith. 15 Holborn Viaduct.
Now, the Jackdaws were not pleasant birds to have forneighbours. They were always grubbing and pecking in Heartof Oak Hall, till they made the hole too large to be good forthe tree. Then the river that flowed beside it, worked awayamong its roots and loosened it; so one day, the Squire, as hecame past, said, “That tree must be cut down.”
Bunny, with his long ears, heard this, and ran directly to tellJerry, who agreed with him that it was a great risk to remain;so did Blackbird and Robin.The Water Rat recommendeda nice cleanlodging to the Bunnies.Jerry and his wife betookthemselves to the horse-chestnuttree; whilst CozieCowl and all the little Coziesjust waited till it was darkenough for them to see,and then they too flewaway to another shelter.
But the Jackdawswould not be warned.“We have lived here always,” said they, “and we are not goingaway now. This tree has stood for hundreds of years, and it islikely to stand for a hundred more. You are always so easilyfrightened, poor Bunny. Such a tree was never cut downin this park, and never will be!”
But the Squire had given his orders, and the next morningthe woodmen set to work to fell the Old Oak. The Jackdawsthen began to think there might be some truth in Jerry’s report;but when the woodmen went away to breakfast, and all wasstill again, they believed their own opinion once more, and wentout as usual to find a dinner for their young family. Grubswere scarce that day, and it was late before they returnedhome, as they thought; but they had no home now. Theground was littered with splinters and broken branches. TheOld Oak Tree was lying prostrate on the grass, and a fewblack feathers were floating down the river.
