far away in the land of the north where snow stays on the ground? Almost all year long lived a mama and a papa snow bunting up in the top of an old fir tree. One spring they built a nest and mama's snow bunting laid a tiny egg. She ruffled her feathers and sat on the egg to keep it warm while papa snow bunting went hunting for food. Then one day the little egg began to shake and a crack appeared. And finally it hatched and out came a baby chick peep peep peep card. The baby chick. Oh, he's hungry, said mama. I'll go hunting food, said papa. But first we'd better calm him down. I'll sing a lullaby, said mama. So she spread her wing over baby's snow bunting and began to sing. Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep! My baby peep peep peep! The little chick cried even louder. Here, let me try! Said papa bunting. And he spread his wing over baby bunting too, and began to sing, whose little toes are these, whose little wings are these? Whose little beak is this? Are you asleep, papa buntings lullaby, put this chick right to sleep, mm hmm. Oh, thank you, papa bunting, said mama bunting. I'll sing that lovely song whenever our chick cries. So papa bunting flew off to find food for his family. He hadn't been gone long when the baby chick woke up, but mama bunting knew just what to do. She snuggled the baby close? And she began to sing, whose little toes are these? Who's and little wings are these? Who's little beak is this? Are you asleep? Baby bunting, fell right back to sleep. But coat color raven was flying by and he had been listening. He flew up to mama bunting in the top of the old fir tree. Give me that song. I want to sing it. Oh no, cuckoo the raven. I can't do that! Said mama bunting, papa bunting gave me this song so I could put our baby to sleep. Well said, if you won't give it, I'll just take it. Ah could could grab the song and pulled mama bunting tried to hold on. But Ravens are much bigger than snow buntings. So kucha snatched it right from her beak and flew away. All the noise woke up baby bunting and he started to cry again. Beep beep. But mama bunting had no song to sing. When papa bunting came home, he said, what's wrong? Why didn't you sing the song to our baby mama? Oh papa said mama kuka. The raven stole our song. He snatched it from my beak and I couldn't hold on when papa bunting heard that his eyes flashed and he stomped his little feet. We'll see about that, he said, mama, bring me my hunting gloves and bring me my bow and arrows. I'll get our song back. So papa bunting, hurried over the snow, looking for clues to the raven. He spread his wings and flew over the mountains down to the valley of the Ravens there. he saw all the Ravens sitting in a circle singing there, raven song! The raven was sitting off by himself singing his stolen song? Whose little toes are these little wings are these? Whose little big is this? Are you asleep, collapsed at his own joke. Papa bunting flew up to him. The raven, Give me back my song. No, I won't. I will keep it myself. We'll see about that! Said papa bunting. He fitted a tiny arrow in his little bow. Could could the raven began to sing again. Who's little chose artie's papa bunting, aimed his arrow and shot it right at cuca's toes. Oh, they're my toes! But quickly kept on singing, Oh, no wings are these papa bunting! Took aim again. Oh, they're my wings! Cried when the arrow struck him, but he wouldn't stop. Whose little big is this papa bunting took one last arrow and shot it right at google beak! Could the raven coughed and dropped the song, papa bunting flew and grabbed up the song from the snow. Goodbye cooper, If you want a lullaby, Make one up yourself! Said papa bunting, flew home back to mama and baby. Here mama! Now we can sing to our chick! So mama spread her wings over the nest and sang, Whose little toes are these? Whose little wings are these? Whose little beak is this? Are you asleep? And that baby I was asleep
