ting them bad example. And it is
my duty to teach him lesson"
Now. the real reason why Jasper
wanted to knock the golden rooster
off his high perch was because he
was so handsome. Jasper's fine suit
looked quite dull beside the golden
dress of the stranger. And that was
more than Jasper could stand.
Here l go!" Jasper cried And he
left his friends and flew straight at
the golden fowl.
Jasper struck the rooster such a
hard blow that he spun around on
his perch twice. But he didn't lose
his balance. And he never said a
single word.
'I'll pull out his tail-feathers this
time!" Jasper squawked, as he darted
at the stranger again. But Jasper
had no luck at all. Though he pecked
viciously at the tail of the golden
rooster, he succeeded only in hurting
his own bill.

Several times Jasper tried. But not
one tan-featther came away And
some of the onlookers began to smile.
Old Mr. Grow even guftawed aloud.
But Jasper say pretended not to
hear him.
Don't you think we'd better go
away? Jolly Robin asked Jasper at
last.
81 think you had better leave. /"
Jasper screamed. He was very angry.
because he knew that his friends
were laughing at him. And instead
of flying at the golden rooster again
he made a swift attack on Jolly
Robin.
Being angry. Jasper had forgotten
that Jolly Robins wife was present.
And TO the blue-coated rascal there
seemed suddenly to be as many as
six jolly Robins, each one with a
furious wife. too.
Jasper fought his hardest. But he
was no match for them. Very soon
he made for the woods and as he
flew away a blue tail-feather with a
white tip floated down into. the
barnyard. where Johnnie Green had
stood for some minutes. watching the
strange sight on the roof of his
fathers barn.
Johnnie picked up the feather and
stuck it in his hat, And when he
told his father, later. how big blue
jay had tried to whip the new
weather-vane and pair of robins as
well, Farmer Green threw back his
head and laughed loudly
Don't you believe me?" Johnnie
asked him. Here's the blue jays
tail feather, anyhow. And that ought
to prove that | am telling the truth"
But Farmer Green only laughed all
the more. You see, he could hardly
believe all the strange things that
happened in the neighborhood.
