A duck which stuck faithfully
to business during the-summer
and laid several dozens of of large
rawn-colored eggs complained
: hat she wasn't apprecaited.
"See that hen over there , " said
the duck ; "she hasn't laid as
many eggs as I nor as big , but
she has books written about her
and verses composed in her honor ,
while nobody is saying a word
about me. "
"Tin. trouble with you is , " said
the wise old roaster that was
standing near , "that yon don't
tell the public what you have
done. You lay an egi ? and wad
dle off without saying a word ,
but that sister of mine never lavs
one without letting every one in
the neighborhood know about it.
