than the peacock. Why should you
wish to look at a hawk when such
gorgeousness is displayed for you on
| the lawn
I'VE do not wish to look at the
hawk. nor do we wish 1t to kill us"
whimpered a duck.
But will not the peacock protect
you? asked the rooster.
Indeed he will not" said a goose
he is even more frightened than We"
BY this time the hawk was nearing
the ground and as he was about to
SWoop down the rooster stepped out
into the center of the yard and brist-
ing his feathers, made ready to fight
the haWk So fierce did the rooster
look with his sharp spurs and fight
Ing attitude that as the hawk came
near enough to see him he turned and
flew away
Now" said the rooster, since he is
gone you can go back to the lawn and
resume your admiration of the feather
display"
But. queerly enough, no one of the
nock started, and one by one each
came nearer to the rooster and began
to ask him questions which took
nearly all of his wisdom to answer.
At length a goose, the largest of the
flock, appointed himself as a sort of
spokesman for the rest and. approach
ing the rooster, said: Your lordshin
we have been mistaken. We have left
you here in the barnyard all by your
self while we have watched a silly and
vain peacock spread his feathers in the
sunlight. When danger came ne was
OF no use to US, and his example of
cowardice no inspiration. We ask YOU
to again resume your place as the king
of the flock, for it has been proven to
all Of US that bravery and wisdom are
much better than beauty and silly dis
play
And the blackbird who flew over the
yard just at this moment called loudly
to the rooster, and the rooster under
stood.
