hawk would touch no food, but died herself 

 in a few days. 



The same friend was on a mountain one 

 day, when a sheep came up to him, and 

 unmistakably begged him to follow her 

 going just in front, and continually looking 

 round to see if he was following. The 

 sheep led him at last to some rocks, where 

 he found a lamb fast wedged in between two 

 pieces of rock. He was able to liberate the 

 lamb, to the evident joy of the mother. 



I myself once saw a cat "broodling" and 

 taking care of a very small chicken, which, 

 being hatched first of a brood, had been 

 brought into a cottage and placed in a basket 

 near the fire. It managed to get out of the 

 basket, and hopped up to the cat, who 

 immediately adopted it.
