A YOUNG Ostrich¹ came to its Mother, groaning² with pain and with its
wings tightly crossed upon its stomach.

"What have you been eating?" the Mother asked, with solicitude³.

"Nothing but a keg of Nails," was the reply.

"What!" exclaimed the Mother; "a whole keg of Nails, at your age!
Why, you will kill yourself that way. Go quickly, my child, and
swallow a claw-hammer."
