they could do; for they had a long journey before them。 The young

storks performed their part so well that they received a mark of

honor; with frogs and snakes as a present。 These presents were the

best part of the affair; for they could eat the frogs and snakes;

which they very quickly did。

    〃Now let us have our revenge;〃 they cried。

    〃Yes; certainly;〃 cried the mother stork。 〃I have thought upon the

best way to be revenged。 I know the pond in which all the little

children lie; waiting till the storks come to take them to their

parents。 The prettiest little babies lie there dreaming more sweetly

than they will ever dream in the time to come。 All parents are glad to

have a little child; and children are so pleased with a little brother

or sister。 Now we will fly to the pond and fetch a little baby for

each of the children who did not sing that naughty song to make game

of the storks。〃

    〃But the naughty boy; who began the song first; what shall we do

to him?〃 cried the young storks。

    〃There lies in the pond a little dead baby who has dreamed

itself to death;〃 said the mother。 〃We will take it to the naughty

boy; and he will cry because we have brought him a little dead

brother。 But you have not forgotten the good boy who said it was a

shame to laugh at animals: we will take him a little brother and

sister too; because he was good。 He is called Peter; and you shall all

be called Peter in future。〃

    So they all did what their mother had arranged; and from that day;

even till now; all the storks have been called Peter。





                            THE END
