3. "Oh! What a sweet song and what a lovely bird!" said the little girl. "I must get Grand-pa to come and hear it."

4. She ran into the house and soon came out with Grand-pa.

They both heard the bird's song.

5. "Go for Grand-ma, my dear," said Grand-pa.

Soon Betty came out with Grand-ma by the hand.

6. Then Grand-pa, Grand-ma and Betty heard the song.

7. "Run in and tell Aunt Kate to come," said Grand-ma.

So Betty ran in for Aunt Kate.

8. Then Grand-pa, Grand-ma, Aunt Kate and Betty heard the song.

9. "Do go for Uncle Jack, Betty," said Aunt Kate.

Out came Uncle Jack.

11. "I must bring Mummy and Daddy to hear it," said Betty.

12. So then Grand-pa, Grand-ma, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jack, Mummy, Daddy and Betty heard the song.
