<h2>THE EAGLE AND THE COCKS</h2>
<br/>
<p>There were two Cocks in the same farmyard, and they fought to
decide who should be master. When the fight was over, the beaten
one went and hid himself in a dark corner; while the victor flew up
on to the roof of the stables and crowed lustily. But an Eagle
espied him from high up in the sky, and swooped down and carried
him off. Forthwith the other Cock came out of his corner and ruled
the roost without a rival.</p>
