(A true story)

A pair of robins built (as carefully as robins will) its nest among the honeysuckle vines.  Soon there were 3 eggs.

(How exciting!)

 

But then there was a Really Big Storm.

And 2 of the eggs disappeared. :~(

The remaining egg hatched. :~)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the parents said, “Baby, you light up our lives!”

 

 

 

(Ok, ok. I just thought this was a really cool picture and had to include it.)

 

 Well, the baby grew.

 For a week.

 

 

Then one day, the nest lay empty on the ground …

 

 

 

 

                                                 And a bewildered parent

 

 

 

 

 

chirped

softly

in

a

nearby

oak

tree.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The (very sad) End.
