How happy my children are to-day!
gpt
They are very wise children! said a neighbour.
human
They say so many wonderful things. Indeed, they seem to know more of some things than even the wise men of the village!
gpt
Yes, they are quite wonderful, said the mother.
human
I sometimes listen to their chatter and watch their nimble little fingers, and I wonder who taught them all they know.
gpt
Oh, said another woman,
human
They do look like birds!
gpt
I do believe they are birds,
human
But the voices are my children's voices,
gpt
And they are still building tiny clay houses on the cliffs!
human
But those toy clay houses are birds' nests, said the neighbour,
gpt
Ah, well, my only wish is that they may remain near us. They will cheer us and keep us from becoming lonely!
human
Surely that is a reasonable wish--since they are your own little ones, said the neighbour.
gpt
I, too, hope that the little birds will remain near our village!
