A man had two daughters,
the one married to a gardener,
and the other to a tile-maker.
After a time he went to tlie
daughter who had married
the gardener, and inquired
how she was and how all
things went with her. She
said, "AH things are
prospering with me, and I
have only one wish, that there
may be a heavy fall of rain, in
order that the plants may be
well watered." Not long after,
he went to the daughter who
had married the tilemaker,
and likewise inquired of her
how she fared; she replied, "I
want for nothing, and have
only one wish, that the dry
weather may continue, and
the sun shine hot and bright,
so that the bricks might be

at last put the other to flight.
The vanquished Cock skulked
away and hid himself in a
quiet corner, while the
conqueror, flying up to a high
wall, flapped his wings and
crowed exultantly with all his
might. An Eagle sailing
through the air pounced upon
him and carried him off in his

his Mother, "You are larger
than.a dog, and swifter, and
more used to running, and
you have your horns as
a defense; why, then, O

She smiled, and said:

with a Flea, caught him at
