Soon the three lawyers who had ridden ahead stopped at a spring to give their horses water.And soon they found Mr.Lincoln lost.
They were surprised to find that Abraham Lincoln was not with them.They waited by the spring.
In a few minutes Mr.Lincoln joined them.His shoes were covered with mud; he had torn his coat on the tree.When they saw Mr.Lincoln come, they asked him where he had been.After Mr.Lincoln told them he had helped the birds in need, the three lawyers were in surprise.
“Well,we always thought you were a hero,”said Mr.Speed.“Now we know it.”
Then all three of them laughed heartily.They thought it so foolish that a strong man should take so much trouble just for some worthless young birds.
“ Gentlemen,” said Mr.Lincoln, “I could not sleep tonight, if I had left those helpless little robins to die in the wet grass.”
Abraham Lincoln afterwards became very famous as a lawyer and statesman.He was elected president.Next to Washington he was the greatest American.
