"Good by, David," said the Phoenix gruffly. David could stand it no longer. He turned and rushed blindly from the Phoenix, blundered into the thicket, and dropped to the ground with his head buried in his arms.

I could not tell you about it because I did not _know_ about it until now. As for your education, it is a pity to have it cut short in this way. I had great plans.... But consider--you have had four adventures which no one else in the whole world has had! And besides, my boy, we shall see each other again. I do not know how or where, but I am positive of it." The Phoenix flicked a tear from its eye with the tip of one wing, while with the other it patted David awkwardly on the shoulder. "Don't go, Phoenix, _please_ don't go." "I must, my boy. Here, permit me to present you with a small token (ouch!) of our friendship." Dimly, through his tears, David saw the Phoenix pluck the longest, bluest feather from its tail, and he felt it being pressed into his hand.
