text_original: After telling us this, my mother left the nest saying that she was going to call on one of our neighbors who lived in an old felt hat, very near us. She said she might be gone some time, so, while my brothers and sisters were taking a nap, I thought to myself: "I don't see why mother told me not to go in daylight. I am sure everything seems perfectly quiet now and I don't think anything could hurt me; and I do feel so hungry. I guess I will go on a little trip, and 'we shall see what we shall see.
