Abstract
This fable is new to me. It is told, at least generally, in past tenses. The jays' screaming was very anonymous (sic) because their voice was so ugly. But they thought their song was beautiful. They went to the eagle to have themselves declared the king of song of the woods, and the eagle agreed. But other animals still laughed at them. So they returned to the eagle, who declared (in some labored English) Even I name you so but your voice in actually is not beautiful. I see the point--a great one!--along the lines of I do not care what the authorities say; the facts remain the way they are.
