To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
''That nest is not so remarkable," said the Doctor, "as the one made by the tailor-bird, an inhabitant of Siam and the tropical parts of India and Malacca. It chooses a leaf on a small twig, and then proceeds to puncture a row of holes along the edge with its beak, just as a shoemaker uses an awl for making holes in a piece of leather. When it has thus perforated the leaf, it takes a long iibre from a plant, and passes it through the holes. The operation of sewing is imitated with great ex- act...ness, and the fibre is pulled, like a thread, until the edges of the leaf are drawn towards each other and form a hollow cone. If the bird can- A CURIOUS NEST.
ISl not find a single leaf large enongli for its purpose, it sews two leaves to- gether; and instances have been known where three leaves were used.
When the framework of the nest is completed, the bird tills the interior with the softest down it can gather from plants, and it tlms has a home which it is next to impossible to discover among the leaves.
