the fate that befell young occupant

chick one day found itself on the

by a mule This fellow, moved either
by hunger or a bad temper, put down
his head and bit off the poor little
chicks two wings.
Strange to relate. but true, neverthe

course it was never as other chickens
and it had to be very careful about
running too fast. 1t could tear along

If it turned corner on the run, over i

The poor thing came to a premature
end. One night it fell off the roos
and landed exactly on its back. With
