The Boastful Jay

_____________________________


"Wow," Helen said. "The eagle is about to snatch a big lamb."
"I can snatch a bigger lamb." The Blue Jay replied. "Watch me."


 The Blue Jay saw a sheep and tried to snatch it.



 "I'm stuck!" The Blue Jay cried. "My claws are caught in the sheep's wool."  


The shepherd caught the Blue Jay and clipped his wings so he couldn't fly.  


 Then the shepherd took the Blue Jay to his sons to play with him.



"Thank you for saving me from those children," the Blue Jay said to Helen.
"Try not to mimic the eagle again, " Helen replied.
