A farmer wanted to catch the wild birds on the nearby hillside. Then he had an idea. He tied his tame birds by the leg in a field, spread a net and hid. Seeing others like them, the wild birds wandered into the field, but the tame ones just went jumping up and down without saying a word. The farmer sprang out and shut the net. The wild birds were very cross. "You're birds, like us. You should have warned us," they said to the tame birds.
