esquire BOastful."

a KING nau squire called squire
Boasttul," because he promised great
deal and performed little. This kings
jester thought he would teach esquire
Boastful" a lesson and lie did so.
One day the king had had some very
nice roast birds for dinner lie called his
squire and said:
Hans, 90 to the woods and shoot ten
birds for my supper
mot ten only" answered the squire,
but hundred will | shoot for you"
"Gooaw replied the king, ''if you can
shoot as well us that, you may bring me
hundred; you shall have Il dollar for
each"
The jester heard this and went to the
woods before the squire, TO where the
birds where most plentiful, and said:
Little birds, fly! fly apace!
Hans the Boaster comes to this place,
Now for your lives pray run race
50 when Hans reached the woods there
wasn't bird to be seen; all had hidden
in their nests. When he went back to the
king empty handed he was sent to prison
for hundred days because he had not
kept his word.
When he was free again the king said
to him one day, II must have five fishes
for my dinner
Hans remembered the hundred birds,
and tried to rein in his boastful tongue.
4 will bring you fifty fishes instead of
FIVE"
"If you are such good fisherman you
may bring me fifty" said the king, land
YOU shall have five dollars for each one
So the Jester ran to the sea aud cried:
Little fishes, swim apace!
Hans the Boaster comes to this place,
Now for your lives pray run Il race"
And when Hans reached the sca-shore
not a fish could he catch. They had all
