IT IS QUITE TRUE!

THERE IS A HEN WHO HAS PLUCKED OUT ALL HEK FEATHERS FOR THE SAKE OF THE COCK !


IT IS QUITE TRUE!

"IT is a terrible story said a hen who belonged to a quarter of the town where the affair had not happened. "It is a terrible story from a poultry-yard! I dare not sleep by myself to-night. It is a good thing there are so many of us together on the perch." And then she began telling the story, which made the feathers of the hens stand on end and the cock drop its comb. It is quite true!
