I stood by the window, looking out into the garden. I was delighted to see that all the birds had come back from their winter holidays
Some of them down South, chirping, some of them were sing- ing, some of them were filling from tree to tree. They all seemed delightfully happy to be back in the garden, that it filled me with joy just to see them. So I sat right flown and started to write poems about them."

"But what makes the poems rid- dies?" Hanid asked Mr Punch.
Mr Punch smiled. "Just this. Each of the poems (I've written three of them) is to have the name of the bird it's written about in the title. But I haven't put the files on yet. So it will be a riddle If I read you each of the poems, and let you tell me the name of what bird ought to be in the title."

Mr. Punch looked out the window and saw the birds singing in 'the
trees.
"Chatter, chatter, chatter, Nothing is the matter, Except I'm getting fatter, Chatler, chatter, chatter.".. Knart looked, thoughtful again Hanld know the answer.

"That poem should be called The Magple," she said. "Magpies are always chattering|"
"Quite right," agreed Mr Punch, Then he read the third and last of the little bird-riddles he had writ- ten.
