An Eagle was once captured by a Man, who clipped his wings and put him in the poultry1 yard, along with the chickens. The Eagle was much depressed2 in spirits by the change.
“Why should you not rather rejoice?” said the Man. “You were only an ordinary fellow as an eagle; but as an old rooster you are a fowl3 of incomparable distinction.”
