The Goose 



The ordinary farmyard Goose has only one business 

 in life, and that is to grow fat. The farmer does 

 not teach her any other accomplishment, so it is 

 scarcely surprising that she is rather stupid. That 

 the Goose can be clever if she has the chance we see 

 from the behaviour of her untamed sisters, who are 

 among the wariest and most intelligent of birds. 

 They live in huge flocks, and when they settle down 

 to feed there is always a sentry Goose on guard to 

 warn them of the approach of danger.
