@senpal ✿ in the autumn all the swallows fly away to warm countries, but if one happens to be belated, feels the cold so much that it falls down like a dead thing, and remains lying where it falls till the snow covers it up. thumbelisa quite shook with fright, for the bird was very, very big beside her who was only one inch high, but she gathered up her courage, packed the wool closer round the poor bird, and fetched a leaf of mint which she had herself for a coverlet and laid it over the bird's head. the next night she stole down again to it and found it alive, but so feeble that it could only just open its eyes for a moment to look at thumbelisa who stood with a bit of tinder-wood in her hand, for she had no other lantern.
