"Jupiter announced that he intended to appoint a king over the birds, and named a day…when he would select the most beautiful of them all to be their ruler."

"…he was about to make the Jackdaw king, when all the rest set upon the king-elect, stripped him of his borrowed plumes, and exposed him for the Jackdaw that he was."

"Wishing to look their best on the occasion they repaired to the banks of a stream, where they busied themselves in washing and preening their feathers."
