Peer's Sister to Act with

THE SAD STORY

OF GEORGE

Visitors to the pats corner which opened on Clacton Pier recently heard the sad atory of George, the West Indian par-

rot.

George was very proud of his fine multi-coloured tail, two foot long,, and strutted about in front of the cage of Pimpo, the African baboon.

Pimpo was bored and George strutted nearer... too near and in a flash he was without a tail. The beautiful feathers fluttered around Pim- po's cage.

The bird is almost valueless until the feathers grow again next year; with his tail he was worth £60.
