There are cutworms, too, which live underground. During the night they come out for food. We robins are early risers, and often catch the slow worms before they can get back to their underground homes.

Ah, laughed Phyllis,

There were four baby birds in the nest. I myself ate about seventy worms in a day. My brother and sisters had as good appetites as I.

Will you build here in the apple-tree? asked Phyllis.
human
I should so like to watch you. Besides, there is a garden just beneath with millions of bugs and insects there.
gpt
Oh, yes, replied the robin.
human
We shall surely build there. You will find that robins like to build near your home. We have a very friendly feeling towards people. That is the reason that we hop about your lawn so much and that we waken you by singing near your window in the early morning.

I have heard that robins are not very good nest-builders, said Phyllis.
human
I was told that a great number of robins' nests were blown down by every hard storm.
