[The JACKDAWS are seen in the park.]

OLD JACKDAW. Come, jackdaws! We must have our breakfast. Come!

[The Vain Jackdaw stops to look at something on the ground.]

(To Vain Jackdaw.)

Come, no one should stop to look at anything! Come!

YOUNG JACKDAW. Just look at him. He takes up feathers!

VAIN JACKDAW (to himself). How fine I would look in these peacock feathers!

ANOTHER JACKDAW. See how he sticks the feathers in among his own!
