from their sleep be a very noisy
neighbor which had apparently taken
up residence in a tree outside their
bedroom window. Finally deciding that
'.'•one or the other inhabitant had to ;
go, they nailed a tin can over the;
noisemaker’s entrance,, hoping to be ...
rid of the intruder. When the noise,
continued and increased they entdrtaine d
the theory that it must be from their
neighbors across the road building
V something. Three days later they
discovered that they had closed Mrs.
Woodpeckers doorway with her indide.
They immediatley removed the tin can
to let "Mama” take the long-delayed
dinner to her hungry little ones. She
hasn't taken up residence and she was
’just prospecting*.
