The White
Heron
The White Heron lives
upon what he can pick up
on the borders of
marshes or the banks of rivers.
He has a pretty
large bill of fare, including fish,
frogs, rats, mice,
and various kinds of snails, worms,
and insects. With
his long legs he wades for some
distance into the
water, and there he stands without
a movement, waiting
for the fish to come within
reach of his terrible
beak. But at the same time
he keeps a watchful
eye upon what is going on
around him; for the
Heron is very shy, and if you
go to call upon him,
you will probably find that
he is not at home.
