\-\A
Jay venturing*GiveM09 {into
a yard} [MAJFwhere Peacocks used to
walk,] found there a number {of
feathers} [RAJFwhich had fallen {from
the Peacocks} [RAVFwhen they were moulting.]]
\-\He tied them all {to
his tail} and strutted=CV down {towards
the Peacocks.} \-\[LAVFWhen
he came {near them}]
they soon discovered the cheat, and striding*GiveM05
{up to him} pecked=CV
{at him} and plucked=CV
away his borrowed plumes. \-\So the
Jay could do no better {than go*INFOP14
back} {to the other Jays,} [RAJFwho
had watched his behaviour {from a distance;}]
\C\but they were equally annoyed=PV
{with him,} and told=CV
him:
\-\"It
is not only fine feathers [RNDSthat make fine
birds."]
