Does the Nightingale Sing Only at Night?

Poets have written so many poems about the night­ingale. They say its songs are the most beautiful songs in the world. Poets think that the nightingale sings only at night and at any season of the year. But this isn't true. The nightingale lives in England only from the middle of April till the middle of June. The bird doesn't visit Ireland, Wales or Scotland. On the conti­nent people can hear the nightingale in many coun­tries, especially in the south.

The bird sings at night and also during the day, but because of other birds you can't hear its song very well. While the nightingale sings one of the most beautiful songs of all birds its body is not very beautiful. The birds are reddish-brown. They build their homes in the grass.

34 к упражнению 9В Helen Beatrix Potter

Helen Beatrix Potter was born on the 6th of July 1866 in London. She was an only daughter of rather rich parents. She did not go to school but had classes at home.

Beatrix was fond of two things. They were animals and drawing. She had a lot of small pets at home: a family of snails, mice, a rabbit, bats and a hedgehog. From a small child she did hundreds of drawings of plants and animals and learned to do it very well. She often illustrated her letters to child friends with little animal drawings and told them stories about these ani­mals.

One day in 1893 she wrote to a little boy called Noel Moor. The boy was ill and she wanted to please him and humour him. The letter began with the words: "I don't know what to write to you so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits whose names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter." In this letter she told the story of Peter Rabbit and illustrated it with lovely little drawings.

Eight years later Beatrix Potter remembered the letter and the story and wrote her now famous chil­dren's book "The Tale of Peter Rabbit". The book was very successful and Beatrix Potter became a profes­sional children's writer. For many years now children in England and in other countries have been enjoying her stories about mice, kittens, ducks, squirrels, hedgehogs and rabbits. And her perfect illustrations make her books even better.
