The Bird’s Bath

Our bird has a bath every day.

We put fresh water into a little dish.

The bird gets into the dish.

The dish is his bath-tub.

First he puts his head into the water.

He splashes around and has a good time in the water.

After he has had a bath, he sits in the sun and dries himself.

When he is dry, he sits on the swing.

He has a good time swinging himself.

We like to watch him swing.

He seems to enjoy himself so much.
