Retaliation


A wild stork was brought by a farmer into his poultry yard to be the

companion of a tame one, which he had long kept there; but the tame stork,

disliking a rival, fell upon the poor stranger, and beat him so

unmercifully that he was compelled to take wing, and with some difficulty

escaped. About four months afterwards, however, he returned to the poultry

yard, recovered of his wounds, and attended by three other storks, who no

sooner alighted, than they all together fell upon the tame stork, and

killed him.
