after they had gone he felt lonely , and began to tire of his lady - love . " she has no conversation , " he said , " and i am afraid that she is a coquette , for she is always flirting with the wind . " and certainly , whenever the wind blew , the reed made the most graceful curtseys . " i admit that she is domestic , " he continued , " but i love travelling , and my wife , consequently , should love travelling also . " " will you come away with me ? " he said finally to her ; but the reed shook her head , she was so attached to her home . " you have been trifling with me , " he cried . " i am off to the pyramids . good - bye ! " and he flew away . all day long he flew , and at night - time he arrived at the city . " where shall i put up ? " he said ; " i hope the town has made preparations . " then he saw the statue on the tall column .
sad .
