A HAWK

Long, long time ago, a hawk fell in love with a hen. The hawk flew down from the
sky and asked the hen, will you marry me? you know what? The hen loved the brave,
strong hawk in return and wished to marry him. But she said, I cannot fly as high as
you can. If you give me time, I may learn to fly as high as you, then, we can fly
together.

The hawk agreed. Before he went away, he gave the hen a ring. This is to show
that you have promised to marry me. Said the hawk. It so happened that the hen
already promised to marry a roaster. So, when the rooster saw the ring, he became very
angry. Throw that ring away at once! shouted the rooster. The hen was so frightened
at the roosters anger that she threw away the ring immediately.

When the hawk came a few months later, the hen told him that the truth. The
hawk was so furious that he cursed the hen. Why didnt you tell me earlier? Now, youll
always be scratching the earth, and Ill be always be flying above to catch your
children. Said the hawk.
