HASTY CONCLUSIONS
A plump little robin flew down from a tree, To hunt for a worm which he happened to see; A frisky young chicken came scampering by, And gazed at the robin with wondering eye. Said the chick: ‘What a queer-looking chicken is that, Its wings are so long and its body so fat!’ While the robin remarked loud enough to be heard, ‘ Dear me I an exceedingly strange looking bird ! ’ ‘Can you sing?’ robin asked, and the chicken said ‘No’; But asked in its turn if the robin could crow. So the bird sought a tree, and the chicken a wall, And each thought the other knew nothing at all.
