The Vulture and the Birds.
A vulture, who had a smut-maohine of his owd, slandered and abused and vilified the eagle, the pheasant and all other birds, even to the hummirg bird. This continued until a sage had his curiosity aroused, and he called upon the foul bird and inquired : "Why is it that you abuse all the bird creation outsido of your own species ? Have any of them iDjured you ?" " Why, no," replied the owner of the smutmachine. " The fact that none of them will etoop to notice me is what punctures my cuticle."
moral: A vulture never forgives the world that he waen't created an eagle.
