THE THIRSTY PIGEON
[49]
PIGEON who was very thirsty saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard.
Without stopping to see what it was, she flew to it with a loud whir,
and dashing against the signboard, jarred herself terribly. Having
broken her wings, she fell to the ground, and was caught be a man,
who said, "Your zeal should never outrun your caution."
