THE PEACOCK. O 



owner of the stack did not like the peacock to remain 

 there, and sent up his son, a little boy, to drive him 

 down. He, in so doing, took hold of the bird's legs, 

 which the peacock no sooner found, than it spread out 

 its wings, and flew away, carrying the boy with it to a 

 considerable distance, unhurt and undismayed.
