This story is real. If you don't know an ox-eye, look at the pictures http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/5405/igo281698.15/0_46b46_669a9fe4_L http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4508/igo281698.15/0_46457_b1cd7563_L Any robin’s fond of talking. Once he saw two ox-eyes working On a plum tree, on the top. He began to hop-hop-hop. “Dear ladies, don’t you think It’s a perfect time to sing?” Asked Robin. “In the morning”, Added he, “Working’s boring”. “We agree”, was the reply. “While you sing”, said one ox-eye, “We’ll continue finding worms. So, dude, begin your songs”. As soon as he sang “Tick-tick!”, They left him for their chicks. What a shame! The singer said, “They believe my voice is bad. When I see one more ox-eye, I’m not gonna waste my time.” But some sparrows had heard Robin’s ‘ticks’ and they had thought That it would be very nice To sit near the ox-eyes. So, those little ones Heard his song and watched his dance. Yes, it was a real show! Robin ticked, hoped fast and slow, Froze, ran along the bough… Greeting chirps made Robin bow. And the audience he got Liked the show quite a lot.
