Sparrow's Spring

Winter has passed, the sun has warmed, the icicles are dripping, and the first buds have appeared on the trees… The sparrow Chiv – Pecked Nape joyfully greets spring. He chirps at the top of his lungs, hops from branch to branch, and takes baths in puddles. But he also has plenty of trouble in spring: he has to build a nest, and that is not so easy to do.

The fairy tale by Nikolai Sladkov about the mischievous teasing sparrow is illustrated by Olga Tsirina.
