The four lawyers rode along, one behind another; for the pathway was narrow, and the mud on each side of it was deep.They rode slowly, and talked and laughed and was very happy.

　　As they were passing through a row of small trees, they heard a great flutter(拍动)over their heads and a weak cry in the grass by the roadside.

　　Some voice came from the green branches above them.

　　Some voice came from the wet grass.

　　The ground was wet.It's obvious that there had been a heavy wind and rain.And soon，one of the men，Speed, recognized that the sounds were from the robins(知更鸟)．They came to the grass, and found there were two robins were in the grass.It was probable that the birds had been blown out of their nest by the storm.The birds were hurt and their mother was very worried about it.The birds were in danger!

　　Lincoln believed that something should be done to help the birds.But his companions did not think it important.They went away, but Lincoln stayed.

　　The three men, as they passed, looked down and saw the little birds fluttering in the cold, wet grass.They saw the mother robin flying about, and crying to her mate.

　　Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before.In a few minutes they had forgotten about the birds.

　　But the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln, stopped.He got down from his horse and very gently took the little ones up in his big warm hands.
