An invitation
To attest a PIOUS person, who had gathered also the stomach with
suitable dead bird, its gratitude, to escape that several
misfortunes, that of these skies on ander, slept in advice and sent
had dreamed. That that thought it, lived was it in a country where
pavos the class rule, and they had each year a banquet to show its
direction of the goodwill of the sky, to hold back its life, to kill
it following. A day of a week before the one of these banquets, it
mustered of the Gobbler of that most is by the uppermost that it
said:
"You become in the good condition delight will receive, it action the
think to feed."
"Yes its excellence," reciprocated to the pious person, delights,
will starve "I, come I it certain. The little stepped is privilege
for diner with its excellence."
The Gobbler of that most is regarded by the uppermost at the same
time in the quiet for a moment; then it said:
During one of the animals servant lower, cannot be predicted knows
you knowledge a large matter, but you quizás something. There you
made not makes, will permit you that that that would indicate me,
inherited to become that the soup is a thing; diner inherited to
become, to be another and a different thing."
With this significant observation that of the Gobbler of that most
by the uppermost you left is it, and the pious person of itself meat
has thenceforward and obscurity as knows to raw awoke through
decapitation dreamed. |
An Invitation
A PIOUS Person who had overcharged his paunch with dead bird by way
of attesting his gratitude for escaping the many calamities which
Heaven had sent upon others, fell asleep at table and dreamed. He
thought he lived in a country where turkeys were the ruling class,
and every year they held a feast to manifest their sense of Heaven's
goodness in sparing their lives to kill them later. One day, about a
week before one of these feasts, he met the Supreme
Gobbler, who said:
"You will please get yourself into good condition for the
Thanksgiving dinner."
"Yes, your Excellency," replied the Pious Person, delighted, "I
shall come hungry, I assure you. It is no small privilege to dine
with your Excellency."
The Supreme Gobbler eyed him for a moment in silence; then he said:"
As one of the lower domestic animals, you cannot be expected to know
much, but you might know something. Since you do not, you
will permit me to point out that being asked to dinner is one thing;
being asked to dine is another and a different thing."
With this significant remark the Supreme Gobbler left him, and
thenceforward the Pious Person dreamed of himself as white meat and
dark until rudely awakened by decapitation.
