<h2>THE EAGLE AND THE ARROW</h2>
<br/>
<p>An Eagle sat perched on a lofty rock, keeping a sharp look-out
for prey. A huntsman, concealed in a cleft of the mountain and on
the watch for game, spied him there and shot an Arrow at him. The
shaft struck him full in the breast and pierced him through and
through. As he lay in the agonies of death, he turned his eyes upon
the Arrow. "Ah! cruel fate!" he cried, "that I should perish thus:
but oh! fate more cruel still, that the Arrow which kills me should
be winged with an Eagle's feathers!"</p>
