Spotty and Brownie, two sparrows, spy a brick hospital through a window. They observe beds and a nurse feeding children in wheelchairs and wonder about the sick children in the ward as a girl on the piazza waves at them and asks for crumbs.
A nurse aids ill children who gather crumbs while Spotty and Brownie the sparrows bring bread and worms. The birds plan a nest near the piazza to delight the sick children, teaching them to think of others and find happiness in small acts as they watch the birds.
