I think we had better turn over a new leaf and begin afresh. You broke the pickle-jar, and now you've nearly broken every bone in my body. Vinegar said cheerfully, "You are too violent, lovey. And the stick stuck in a tree out of his reach so he had to go back to his wife without anything at all.īut he was glad the stick had stuck in a tree, for Mrs. Vinegar trudged along, that at last he flew into a violent rage and flung his stick at the bird. Ah, you fool! you simpleton! you blockhead!"Īnd the magpie chuckled, and chuckled, and chuckled in such guffaws, fluttering from branch to branch as Mr. Ho, ho! Ha, ha! So you've nothing to show for your forty guineas save a stick you might have cut in any hedge. Vinegar, you foolish man?you simpleton?you blockhead!
