[JACOB _comes out with a club._]
JACOB. Now go! Go, sir!
FOX. Why, what is this? I said I would eat Peter's chickens.
JACOB. Yes, but you mean to eat mine. Now go! Go, or I will beat you!
[_The Fox runs quickly away._]

* * * * *
[_The_ JACKDAWS _are seen in the park._]
OLD JACKDAW. Come, jackdaws! We must have our breakfast. Come!
[_The Vain Jackdaw stops to look at something on the ground._]
(_To Vain Jackdaw._)
Come, no one should stop to look at anything! Come!
YOUNG JACKDAW. Just look at him. He takes up feathers!
VAIN JACKDAW (_to himself_). How fine I would look in these peacock
feathers!
ANOTHER JACKDAW. See how he sticks the feathers in among his own!
YOUNG JACKDAW. See how he struts about in them!
OLD JACKDAW. My son, take off those feathers!
VAIN JACKDAW. It pleases me to wear them.
OLD JACKDAW. Take them off, I say!
VAIN JACKDAW. I will not take them off!
OLD JACKDAW. Then you cannot stay with us.
VAIN JACKDAW. I do not wish to stay with jackdaws. I will not walk with
jackdaws. I will not talk with jackdaws. I think myself too fine for
jackdaws.
OLD JACKDAW. Then, jackdaws, we will think no more about him. Come, now,
to find our breakfast! Come!
[_They go. The_ PEACOCKS _enter._]
VAIN JACKDAW. Good-morning, brothers.
PEACOCKS. Ha, ha, ha!
VAIN JACKDAW. Why do you laugh so, brothers?
PEACOCKS. Ha, ha, ha!
VAIN JACKDAW. You must not laugh, dear brothers. I am a peacock like
yourselves.
FIRST PEACOCK. You silly jackdaw!
