We have a tall gum tree in our yard.

A magpie sits on the tip top, when the sun is getting up.

He sings, and sings, and sings to the sun. He loves the morning.

Edna and I love his song. It is such a happy song!

A jackass sits on a low branch. He cannot sing.

He laughs-"Ha-ha-ha, Ho-ho-ho!"

Jacky pecks at grubs in the tree.

Our gum tree has pretty little buds with green caps.

The caps are pushing up.

There will be flowers.

Then the bees will come, and buzz over them. Hum-hum-hum!
