 | Just an Empty Shell
Two little birds had a nest in the bushes in the back part of a
garden. Five-year-old Amy found the nest. It had four speckled eggs in
it. One day, after she had been away for some time, she ran into the
garden to take a look at the pretty eggs. To her dismay she found only
broken shells. "Oh," she cried, "the beautiful eggs are all spoiled and
broken!" " No, Amy," said her brother, "they are not spoiled. The best
part of them has taken wings and flown away." So it is with death. The
body left behind is only an empty shell, while the soul, the better
part, has taken wings and flown away.
