OF WHAT OCCURRED SUBSEQUENTLY
After it was known that the
seven young parrots,
and the seven young storks,
and the seven young geese,
and the seven young owls,
and the seven young guinea-pigs,
and the seven young cats,
and the seven young fishes,
were all dead, then the frog, and the plum-pudding flea, and the mouse,
and the clangle-wangle, and the blue boss-woss all met together to
rejoice over their good fortune. And they collected the seven feathers
of the seven young parrots, and the seven bills of the seven young
storks, and the lettuce, and the cherry; and having placed the latter on
the lettuce, and the other objects in a circular arrangement at their
base, they danced a hornpipe round all these memorials until they were
quite tired, after which they gave a tea-party, and a garden-party, and
a ball, and a concert, and then returned to their respective homes full
of joy and respect, sympathy, satisfaction, and disgust.
