THE GAME COOKS AND THE EAGLE.
Two game cocks in a farmyard were fighting fiercely for the mastery. The vanquished cock ran away and hid himself in a quiet comer. The conqueror, flying up to a high wall, flapped his wings and crowed exultingly with a11 his might. An eagle, sailing through the air, pounced upon him and carried him off in his talons. The vanquished cock immediately came out of his corner, and ruled henceforth with undisputed mastery.
Pride will have a fall.
