They did not seem frightened, but shouted softly, as if they knew they were safe.Mr.Lincoln wanted to put the little birds into their nest.Then he looked up to find the nest from which they had fallen.It was high, much higher than he could reach.

　　But Mr.Lincoln could climb.He had climbed many a tree when he was a boy.He put the birds softly, one by one, into their warm little home.Two other baby birds that had not fallen out were there.All joined together and were very happy.

　　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.”
