Reading Notes, The Quarrel of the Quails
Bibliography: Ellen C. Babbitt, The Quarrel of the Quails
-Lots of Quails lived together in a forest and the most influential and wisest was the leader.
-A man would catch quails and sell them near a forest. He would use the note the quails thought was their leader.
-The fowler would throw a net over them and he went into town where he would sell all of them he caught.
-The next time the fowler throws a net over you, each of you must put your head through one of the little holes in the net. Then all of you together must fly away to the nearest thorn-bush. You can leave the net on the thorn-bush and be free yourselves."
-The next day, the Quails did this plan from the leader. This happened multiple days in a row and his wife was very upset with him because he wasn't bringing home any money.
-The fowler thought that as soon as the quails begin to quarrel, he would be able to catch them all.
- When the fowler came that day he flung his net over them, and this time instead of flying off with it, one side said, "Now, you lift the net," and the other side said, "Lift it yourself."
-Neither of the side began to life up so the fowler caught them all and took them to town and sold for a good price.
