A Bird's Funeral

While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, ourminister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin.Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small boxand cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of thedeceased.The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorousdignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: 'Glorybe unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.'
