The Old Mill (4)

The Old Mill  (4)

Suddenly a wind blew up, tossing the reeds this way and that.
The frogs dived off their lily pads and into the pond.



A cloud swept across the moon.

The sails of old mill creaked as they began to turn in the wind.
A loose shutter clattered and banged.

The owl, disturbed from his nap, opened one big yellow eye and glared angrily.

As the sails of the mill turned this way now that in the gusts of wind, the wooden cog wheel that was attached to them moved, coming closer and closer to the robin's nest, then retreating. 

The wheel strained and creaked against the rope that held it.



" Oh ! Whatever shall we do ? " cried Mrs. Robin, who had been awakened by the noise.

A flash of lightning showed how close to the little nest the cog were coming with every gust of wind.
