Among the gifts was a female bird never before seen, fat and ugly. The giver had delivered the unpresentable present himself: \u2018Yes, yes,\u2019 he confessed, eyes on the floor. \u2018This bird is not beautiful. It does not sing. It has a blunt beak, a silly crest, and stupid eyes. And its wings of sad feathers have forgoten how to fly.\u2019 The he swallowed.
