Most of our Indians have a tradition that in the days of old animals and man had a common speech. Each was able to understand the other, and thoughts and language were common to all. It was not until man began to regard himself as superior to the animals and think of them as “lower” that this oneness of speech and relationship was lost. Since then envy, jealousy, anger, on one side, and conceit, pride, and contempt on the other have widened the breach, while Love has stood with tearful eyes looking on at the sad and unnatural estrangement.But in these latter days prophets among the white race have risen up to awaken again within man the desire for brotherhood with the humbler creations of God. Thoreau, John Burroughs, John Muir, Ernest Thompson Seton, W. J. Long, Elizabeth Grinnell, and many others, are showing us our kinship to the birds, buds, bees, blossoms, and beasts. It is with the two thoughts before me of the common speech and understanding existent between the animals and man, and of the kinship that affection shows us does really exist, that I have written the “Story of Scraggles” from her viewpoint, with the confident anticipation that young and old alike will enjoy this truthful record of a sweet and beautiful little life.While, of course, the thoughts put into Scraggles’ words are mine, the statements of fact are literally true. I have told the story as nearly in accord with the incidents as they actually occurred, as this method of telling the story would permit.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This is the story of a little sparrow named Scraggles who was born fragile and very weak. Unlike her brothers and sisters, who, from the moment they were hatched, were very much stronger than her. This made Scraggles think, why is she so frail. Though her mother will give her food every time she cries when she is hungry. When there is food, her siblings would hurriedly eat the worms except for her because they ate her share several times without her mother’s knowledge. Scraggles is the bird who developed very slow, unlike all other birds, who, in their first weeks, would eventually learn how to fly. Scraggles has no confidence at all and fears that she will not succeed in flying. She tried and tried to fly but she always fails. Her mother would comfort her by telling she could fly, it just takes practice. Her mother also tells her that if she could fly she will be so much happier and flying is so much fun. Scraggles went struggling and was saved by a human family. They took care of Scraggles, feed her, gave her shelter, made her as a part of the family. Scraggles is the narrator of her own story, a story on how to be healthy and unbreakable. One should believe in one’s self whatever the odds may be. Will Scraggles learn how to fly? Or will she continue to be fragile and very weak? Will she conquer her sickness? The Story of Scraggles was written by George Wharton James, a famous American lecturer, photographer, journalist, and editor. He was born in England, when he was a young man, he went to the United States and was ordained as a Methodist minister. He served in in the churches of Nevada and Southern California, and he began his hobbies in journalism and in writing, which later become his career.

The human brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making decisions as to the instructions sent to the rest of the body. The brain is contained in, and protected by, the skull bones of the head
