brother's trap, put it in his own, and carried it 

 home as his. VVhen his brother examined the 

 traps, he said he was sure he caught the bird, be- 

 cause there were feathers sticking to his trap ; but 

 Isaac maintained that there were feathers sticking 

 to his also. After he went to bed, his conscience 

 scorched him for what he had done. As soon as 

 he rose in the morning, he went to his mother 

 and said, "What shall 1 do'? I have told a lie, and 

 feel dreadfully about it. That ivas Sam's partridge. 

 I said I took it froii my trap ; and so I did ; but I 

 put it iu there first." 



"My son, it is a wicked thing to tell a lie," re- 

 plied iiis mother. "You must go to Sam and con- 

 fess, and give him the bird." 



Accordingly, he went to his brother, and said, 

 "Sam, here's your partridge. I did take it out of 

 my trap ; but I put it in there first." His brother 

 gave him a talking, an^i then forgave him.
