On
a beautiful autumn morning, a hen was walking, in a melancholy mood, under a
vine, when a ripe grape, loosening itself from its fellows, fell right on the
top of her little red crest. In great alarm, she stated running, and nearly
bumped into a rooster. “Where are you going in such a hurry, my dear and lovely
friend?” he asked sarcastically- - I am going to tell the king that the sky is
falling. Just now such a big piece fell on my head, that it is a miracle I was
not killed.
