Show The Young Calf and the Old Hen. A Thin Old Hen one day met a Young Calf in a Green Field and said to Him: "Come along with Me, My Boy, and join me in a Salad." The Calf looked at the Hen out of his innocent eyes and said: "Thanks very much. What name is your Salad called by?" "Chicken." The Hen cackled ironically, iron-ically, with her head to starboard. The Calf Was Silent and Thoughtful. Thought-ful. Then He looked at The Hen again and said: "It is awfully good of You, but I think I'd rather be a Ris de Veau," and he sidestepped toward a patch of Green Grass. The Old Hen sadly raised her head and walked away, remarking: "I do not understand." Moral They never Do. Satire. |
