ing. They came rushing along to tell
them, for they had seen danger from
afar. That's really So" said Mr.. Gan
der. "These geese saved the good
men from the cruel ones who had come
to rob them and to hurt them"
''Fine, fine" cackled Mrs. Goose.
That's splendid. No wonder you say
that geese shouldn't be called stupid
any more"
"Well," said Brother Bacon, "who
had come up to listen. pigs have often
given warning of danger, too. Both
pigs and geese have been brave and
have accomplished fine things.
ooh, DEAR" said Mr.. Gander, "may-
be that is true, but don't be such a
selfish pig that you have to be in
every story. This one was to be true
one about geese"
"And it is true" said Brother Ba-
con. "Geese have a number of times
been known to give warning that
danger was near. Yes, you're not so
stupid as you look" ended Brother
Bacon with a smile and twist of his
