I'LL PAY YOU FOR THAT !

A hen trod on a duck's foot. She did not mean "to do it y and it did not hurt the duck much; but the duck said, ? "I'll pay you for that!" So the duck flew at the lien, but as she did her wing struck an old goose who stood, close by. "I'll pay you for that!" cried the goose, and she flew at the duck but as shte did so her foot tore the fur of a cat who was in the yard. "I'll pay you for that!" cried the cat, and she started for the goose but as she did so her claw caught in tlie wool ol' a sheep. "I'll pay you I'or that!" cried the sheep ) and she ran at the cat but as she did so her loot hit the' foot of a dog who lay in the, sun. "I'll pay you for that!" hie cried and jumped at the slieep (j but as he did so his leg struck an old cow who stood by the gate. "I'll pay you for that!" she cried, and she ran at the dog j but as she' did so her horn grazed' the skin of a horse who stood by a tree. "I'll pay you for that!" cried the horse, and he rushed at the cow. What a noise there was! The horse How at the cow and the cow
