THE STORY OF A STORM.
(That is the reason we didn't speak.)
He said that Hector wasn't a Greek!

"But I thought it wouldn't do to die
And not say even one single word
To Louis before I went to the sky,—
So I told him about the bird,
And the other birds out there in the nest
That their mother hadn't even dressed!

"If it hadn't been for the rain, you see,
We never could have been friends again.
And, who would I have to play with me—
If it hadn't been for the rain?
And Louis said he was glad to speak,
For he thought that Hector wasn't a Greek!"
