THE JACKDAW AND THE DOVES

A Jackdaw saw that the Doves were well fed,--so she painted herself

was a dove like them, and let her in. But the Jackdaw forgot herself and

drove her away. The Jackdaw flew back to her friends, but the jackdaws

were frightened at her, seeing her white, and themselves drove her away.
