Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Perkins School for the Blind Bound Clippings, Vol. 1: Anthology of English Verse, 1870-1899
Another familiar and cheerful bird was the Ben-te-vi, so called from the perfect accuracy with which he pronounces thesc words. He is about the size ofa sparrow, and distinguished by a cir cle of white round his head, with a yellow belly. Whenever we passed, he put his head out of the bush, and peeping at us from under the leaves, he said, Ben-te-vi - O, I saw you!' with an arch expression, as if he had observed something which he could tell if he pleased.
