HEARING that the Birds in an aviary¹ were ill, a Cat went to them
and said that he was a physician, and would cure them if they would
let him in.

"To what school of medicine do you belong?" asked the Birds.

"I am a Miaulopathist," said the Cat.

"Did you ever practise Gohomoeopathy?" the Birds inquired, winking²
faintly.

The Cat took the hint and his leave.
