They hav a voic like a piccallo flute, and for racket two ov them kan make a saw that iz being filed ashamed ov itself.
They are a very shy bird, and the nearer yu git tew them the further they git oph.
They are more ornamental than uceful, but are chiefly good tew frighten away hawks.
They will see a hawk up in the sky three miles and a-half off, and will begin at once tew holler and make a fuss about it.
THE GOSLIN.
The goslin iz the old goose’s yung child. They are yeller all over, and az soft az a ball ov worsted. Their foot iz wove whole, and they kan swim az eazy az a drop of kaster oil on the water.
They are born annually about the 15th ov May, and never waz known tew die natually.
If a man should tell me he had saw a goose die a natral and square deth, I wouldn’t believe him under oath after that, not even if he swore he had lied about seeing a goose die.
The goose are different in one respekt from the human family, who are sed tew grow weaker but wizer; whereaz a goslin alwus grows tuffer and more phoolish.
I hav seen a goose that they sed waz 93 years old last June, and he didn’t look an hour older than one that waz 17.
