The Half-Chick (6) [The Half-Chick]

The Half-Chick (6)

" Oh ! Medio Pollito," called the wind, "do hop up here and help me to get free of these branches. I cannot come away, and it is so uncomfortable. "

" It is your own fault for going there," answered Medio Pollito.
" I can't waste all my morning stopping here to help you. Just shake yourself off, and don't hinder me, for I am off to Madrid to see the King."

And hoppity-kick, hoppity-kick, away stumped Medio Pollito in great glee, for the towers and roofs of Madrid were now in sight.

When he entered the town he saw before him a great splendid house, with soldiers standing before the gates.

This he knew must be the King's palace, and he determined to hop up to the front gate and wait there until the King came out.

But as he was hopping past one of the back windows the King's cook saw him.
" Here is the very thing I want," he exclaimed.
" The King has just sent a message to say that he must have chicken broth for his dinner."
Opening the window, he stretched out his arm, caught Medio Pollito.
