Once,
not long ago,

There used
to be a house
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
11/783
Up on a high,
high hill
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
12/784
And for some time
it was completely empty
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
13/785
Nobody knew who
built the house,
or who it belonged to,
or who lived in it.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
14/786
Until one day,
when it happened to be
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
15/787
That a small fly
was living in the house.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
16/788
And the fly thought
to himself for a moment
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
17/789
and said:
This house was built
by those like me.
My kind built this house,and so too they made me.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
18/7810
The fly was pleased
by this thought.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
19/7811
So he left the house,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
20/7812
And went down into
a valley,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
21/7813
And crossed a river,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
22/7814
And flew through
a forest,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
23/7815
And came to a cliff
at the edge of the forest.
and said, as loud ashe could:
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
24/7816
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
25/7817
I am the lordof the houseon the hill,
and I will live forever.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
26/7818
The next morning,
there was no fly
living in the house.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
27/7819
Instead, there was
a toad.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
28/7820
And the toad thought
to himself for a moment.
He thought:
I used to be a fly,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
29/7821
and he said:
But this house was built
by those like me.
My kind built this house,
and so too they made me.

The toad was pleased
by this thought.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
31/78
23
So he left the house,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
32/7824
And went down into
the valley,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
33/7825
And swam across the river,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
34/7826
And hopped through
the forest,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
35/7827
And came to the cliff
at the edge of the forest.
and said, as loud ashe could:

I am the lordof the houseon the hill,
and I will live forever.

38/7830
The next morning,
there was no toad
living in the house.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
39/7831
Instead, there was
a bird.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
40/7832
And the bird thought
to himself for a moment.
He thought:I used to be a toad, and
before that a fly, but allthe while I have been
Forever Bird: That ismy name.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
41/7833
and he said:
For this house was built
by those like me.
My kind built this house,
and so too they made me.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
42/78
34
The bird was pleased
by this thought.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
43/78
35
So he left the house,
which he namedForever House,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
44/78
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
45/7837
And flew across the river,
which he namedSwift River,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
46/7838
And hopped through
the forest,
which he namedDark Forest,
-

I am the lordof the houseon the hill,
and I will live forever.

The next morning,
there was no bird
living in the house.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
51/78
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
52/7844
And the donkey thought
to himself for a moment.
He thought:I used to be a bird, and
before that a toad, andbefore that a fly.
Who am I now?
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
53/7845
and he said:
Surely, at least, this house
was built by those like me.
My kind built this house,
and so too they made me.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
54/78
46
The donkey was pleased
by this thought.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
55/78
47
So he left the house
that he lived in,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
56/7848
And went down into
the valley by his home,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
57/7849
And waded across the
river he drank from,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
58/7850
And walked through
the forest,
where he sometimes
went to be quiet,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
59/7851
And came to the cliff
at the edge of the forest,
and said, as loud ashe could:
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
60/78
52
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
61/78
53
I am the lordof the houseon the hill,
and I will live forever.

8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
62/7854
The next morning,
there was no donkey
living in the house.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
63/7855
Instead, there was
a snake.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
64/7856
And the snake thought
to himself for a moment.
He thought:I have been many things,
so many that I haveforgotten them.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
65/78
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
66/78

The snake was not pleased
by this confusion,
but he had another
thought, which
he kept to himself.
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
67/78
59
So he left,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
68/7860
And went down,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
69/7861
And swam across,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
70/7862
And slithered through,
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
71/7863
And came to the cliff,
and said, as loud ashe could:
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
72/78
64
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
73/78
-
8/14/2019 Picture Books Talking Animals Nature
74/78
The next morning, there
was nothing at all
in the houseon the
hill.
