Aunt Este's Stories For Children
For the deor little children of everywhere,
Who love the Robin so brave and fair —
With Ills black, black eye, and his red, red breast
As he sits and sings 011 'lis little nest
As soon as THE HA STICK TIDE IS 11 EKE —
Is written this tale of Easter cheer.
Dear little ones, there Is a beautiful legend translated from
the Swedish, which tells how the Robin, (when the Lord created
all things) was not given his red breast, but was told to earn it.
For thousands of years he and his babies and his babies' babies,
tried in every way to earn a red breast. First they tried to redden
rliolr breasts with the glow of song, but that <llO tip good. Their
breasts remained gray. Next they tried to redden their breasts
With their courage—by righting until they should t'laiiie with
the love of battle—but that did flo good—their br/asts remained
gray! So they tried, until at last they gave up In despair.
On the Friday before the first Faster when Christ was cruci
fied, however, a little I'obin sat in sorrow 011 a hillock outside of
Jerusalem, and watched the dear Christ suffering on the cross.
At last his little breast swelled with pity as he saw cruel men
place the crown of thorns upon His brow. Finally he. could star.d
It no longer, and although he had never dared to venture near a
human, he flew around and around the cross, and at last darted
up and with his little beak pulled a thorn from the brew of the
Christ. As he did so, the blood poured over his breast, and when
he got home to his nest ho found he had earned for himself and
all his kind the name of Robin Redbreast. So by a deed of kind
ness he had accomplished what none of his ancestors for thous
ands of years had been able to do through valor or song or any
other thing.
And now I want to tell you a little Faster story of the same
bird, and the name of it shall be
Why Kiibtn ItedhrcuKt jjinga nt llaHlrr Time
Many, many years ago, a dear little Robin sat in his tiny
nest and wept. Yet why he wept his babies could not understand.
Wasn't his breast a gorgeous red? His breast that had remained
gray for thousands of years, while robin after robin had tried to
turn it red? Wasn't he the one who had done it?
"Dear Daddy Redbreast," sobbed the little ones, "why do you
weep? See the beautiful gift you have earned for us. You havo
always been happy, even when you felt you could not havo your
red breast, and we have loved you so much. Now you have what
you have always sighed for. Why do you weep?"'
Hut Robin Redbreast only bowed his head the lower, and
sighed and sighed.
"Why do you weep, my dear husbund?" asked his little wife.
"I am so proud of your noble red breast. I am so proud it is mv
sire who earned it? Why do you weep. Sing for us once again."
But the tears only flowed the faster from the noble bird's
eyes.
So Robin sat in his nest for two whole nights and one whole
S & Sb th' ,aSt the mornlns °' the n ext day dawned and it was the
"Wlil you not be glad to-day?" asked his little gray wife.
"Look, the sun 18 high in the heavens. The air is sweet with per
fume, the brooks sing, and the sky smiles. Will you not be glad?
You see dear Robin we love you so much, I and the babies, that
it makes us weep to see you so sad. And why you have not told
us."
"Dear little gray wife," said Robin, as he leaned over the tiny
nest and looked wltli pride at his babies and their mother. "I did

hearty meal, they all arose from the
table except the Rev. Mr. Schweitzer,

' Dr. W. S. Disslar, of Denver, and Mrs.
I Schweitzer and their daughter, Dr.

time had reached his bedside. Dur
ing a greater part of the time for
several days he was unconscious, but
iin his lucid intervals he was able
|to speak with his family in whispers,
j His condition has been regarded as
critical; by Wednesday, however, his
I condition became more favorable and

happy, although I do not think I ever can he. \ou see when I
earned my red breast, 1 saw so much to make me Bail. I unci
hoped to help free the kind man 1 saw hanging to that cruel cross.
Put all I could do was to pluck one tiny thorn. So lie died and
they carried him away and laid him In a tomb. 1 know he was
mere than a man. Something in his face took me back t<" fara
dise. And don't you remember how, after 1 came home with the
bland on my breast the temple was rent, and the skies were dark

Daek my happy spirits for I cannot bear to sec you and the babies
suffer or sorrow any more than I could hear to see Him suffer
and sorrow. J will try to come back with a light in my eyes, and
bring >i sweet song on my bill." . , , „ ..
So away over the hillsides of Jerusalem flew Robin Redbreast.
Away through the valleys. Hut, although the sky was clear and
the sunbeams played and the brooks sang, Robin seemed heavy
of heart, and somehow or other his little wings led him straight
to the spot where he had seen the men carry the kind Christ, lie
had thought to weep on 6 little last tear on the kind Christ s
tomb. ~ .
But when he readied it—Lo! the. stone was rolled away, and as
his little black eyes peered into the depths of it. instead of death
lie saw life! Instead of a man lying in death clothes lie saw a
shining -.ne robed in whiteness. And without understanding why,
the .burden dropped from his little red breast, and forth from his
tiny throat poured a song—and such a song! A s«*ng of love and
Joy and cheer and happiness. A song of victory and life. Even
the angel stopped to listen, for it seemed as if the little blrcl's
tones were those of heaven itself.
"You do not need to tell me, shining one," he said, when he
had finished, "after all, I was right, and the kind Christ, with the
thorns on his brow, was a part of that Paradise from whence I
sprung. After all He was a part of the wonderful God head.
After all He is risen. Now I can ling."
And back to Ills little nest home he flew, the song of joy
still pouring from his tiny throat. Mamma Robin saw him coming,
and chirped in glee. The tiny Baby Robins opened their mouths
wide to greet him The whole little nest home radiated eheer.
"Robin has brought back his happiness! Robin has brought
back his song! Robin has brought back his cheer," sang Mamma
Robin to the little ones. And ail the little young ones said,
"chee, chee! ehee, chee! chee, choe!"
"Rejoice with me, my loved ones," sang Papa Robin, "the dear
Christ lias'risen! No longer is there sorrow in the tomb! For,
from death has sprung life—just as out of my gray feathers have
sprung red ones. And the secret of all is love, love, love! And
from now on I want you. my babies, to start a custom, and 1 want
you to teach It your babies, so that they in turn may teach It
to thelr's. As long as the earth remains, you shall herald the glad
Easter tide with your song. You shall sing In the bright flowers
and the budding trees. You shall sing away darkness and death
and dreariness. The Easter tide shall be the gala day of the Robin."
And from that day to this, dear little ones, whenever Easter
time is close at hand, the dear little robins from far and near
gather over the dork tombs of dead trees, and all the gloom that
winter has brought to pass, and sing as life comes forth, and flow,
ers and buds and the love of Spring arises from the grave of
winter. So little Robin Redbreast is one of the first to sing the
Spring-time songs of welcome, and greet the happy Easter time.
And ever and always his little red breast is one of the first signs
of Spring. Eovlnjrlv
