Little birdie is in her nest.

She says, “Peep, peep, peep.”

“What does birdie want?” says mother.

“I want to fly from the nest.

Mother, let me fly away.

Let me fly high over the tree-top.”

But the mother says, “No, no, you can not fly.

Rest in the nest a little longer.

Soon your wings will be stronger.

Then you can fly away.

You can fly over the tree-tops.

You can fly over the meadows.”

So birdie will stay in the nest a little longer.

And when her wings are stronger, she will fly away.
