Some bluejays lived in a oak tree in a big yard. They liked to eat acorns. Every morning father bluejay said,” come little bluejay, come and eat your breakfast”. They had acorns three times a day. Father bluejay said”there is nothing so good as acorns”. “Dear me!” said mother bluejay, “some day there may be no acorns, then what will we eat?” Father bluejay said “I do not know. but I will think about it, and then I will tell you.” He thought and thought. At last, he said “we get acorns from oak trees, oak trees grow from acorns, we must plant acorns so that we will have oak trees. We must plant them now”. So he called to Mother bluejay and the four little bluejays. All the bluejays flew down to the ground. “Now see what I am going to do”. Soon he found a very one. Then he made a hole in the ground and put the acorns into it.
