The ordinary farmyard Goose has only
one business
in life, and that is to grow fat.
The farmer does
not teach her any other accomplishment,
so it is
scarcely surprising that she is rather
stupid. That
the Goose can be clever if she has
the chance we see
from the behavior of her untamed sisters,
who are
among the wariest and most intelligent
of birds.
They live in huge flocks, and when
they settle down
to feed there is always a sentry Goose
on guard to
warn them of the approach of danger.
