The cat rolled over and over, and the dog buried his head in his paws. "Did you ever see anything so funny?" he said to puss.
"Hush!" she replied, "Here is the rooster."
The rooster stopped quite still when he saw himself in the mirror.
"Well, where did you come from?" he asked, ruffling up his feathers. He walked straight to the mirror and flew at the other rooster. Bang! He went against the glass.
"In a glass case, are you?" he said. He stretched out his neck and looked very fierce. "You should be; you are a sight—your feathers are ruffled, and you are not half so handsome as I am."
And off he walked, satisfied that he was handsomer than the other rooster.
"Oh, dear!" laughed the cat. "I certainly shall scream. They all think they are handsomer than their reflections. Here comes the turkey gobbler. Let us see what he does."
The gobbler walked slowly over to the mirror and looked at his reflection.
