What The Peacock and the Crow Told
Each Other When the Crow Came
to Steal the Peacock's Feathers
Said the Lapwing "Crow,
I never have seen
Such a one as you,
Such a one as you
For stealing eggs."
Said the Crow "Caw, caw,
I never have seen
Such a one myself,
And I am, I am sure
Longer in the world."
THEN the Crow flew away and the Lapwing went on complaining.
The Crow flew away and he came to where the Peacock was walking in the King's Garden. He asked the Peacock did he ever listen to stories.
