18 THE COMET MY PET The first time that I saw Sally, she was in a box of hay with two other goslings. T'he other two were gray, but she was yellow. These were the first goslings I had ever seen, and they possessed a special attraction for me, Sally in particular. She was large and clumsy and covered with soft, yellow down from which her tiny, black eyes peeped forth. O, how I loved her! I must have her for my own! It took many days of teasing before mother consented to give the gosling to me, and then it was on con- dition that I would take good care of her. I named her Sally. Many days filled with pleasure fol- lowed. Sally learned her name and would come quickly when called. She was a very sociable bird and would cry loudly when left alone. I suppose this was because she had been petted too much, and knew that some one would come if she cried. Sometimes I put her out of doors on the grass, hop- ing that she would stay there content- edly. Then I would come into the house to watch her from the window. After waiting until I had entered the house she would get in a place where she knew I could see her, and squawk and cry until I came out to play with her. She was very friendly and liked to have me talk to her. She would put her head near my face and talk in very confidential tones. One day my brothers took Sally up to the pond with the other geese. In about an hour one of them came back with my goose. I-Ie said she had fallen in the grass and could not walk. She lived for a week or two after this, but at times was unable to walk very well, and after one of these spells she died. We thought that she must have had a sun stroke while with the other geese at the pond. After her death I missed her very muchg it seemed as though I had lost a real friend. -M.
