"Oh, the gizzard!" said Tommy Smith. "I know what that is, because I have"—and then he stopped all of a sudden. He had been going to say that he had tasted it sometimes when there was fowl for dinner, but he thought he had better not. It didn't seem quite delicate to talk to a woodpigeon about eating a fowl. OH THE GIZZARD SAID TOMMY SMITH I KNOW WHAT THAT IS BECAUSE I HAVE AND THEN HE STOPPED ALL OF SOME HE HAD BEEN GOING TO SAY THAT HE HAD TASTED IT SOMETIMES WHEN THERE WAS FOWL FOR DINNER BUT HE THOUGHT HE HAD BETTER NOT IT DIDN'T SEEM QUITE DELICATE TO TALK TO A WOODPIGEON ABOUT EATING A FOWL

But it is there, all the same, though you can’t see it, and it is called the gizzard.”  MILL SAID TOMMY SMITH YES SAID THE WOODPIGEON THE LITTLE MILL WHICH IS INSIDE ME TOMMY SMITH WAS GETTING MORE AND MORE PUZZLED WHAT COULD THE WOODPIGEON MEAN AND YET HE WAS SUCH A NICE BIRD HE SAID TO HIMSELF I DON'T THINK HE WOULD TELL STORIES I SEE THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME SAID THE WOODPIGEON SO IF YOU LIKE I WILL EXPLAIN IT ALL TO YOU OH I SHOULD SO LIKE TO KNOW SAID TOMMY SMITH SO THE WOODPICHON GAVE A GENTLE COO AND BEGAN TO TELL HIM ALL ABOUT IT YES HE SAID I HAVE A MILL INSIDE ME AND EVERYTHING THAT I EAT GOES INTO IT AND GETS GROUND UP WHY THEN YOU ARE A MILLER SAID TOMMY SMITH IN A WAY I AM SAID THE WOODPIGEON FOR I OWN A MILL BUT THEN YOU KNOW A MILLER LIVES INSIDE HIS MILL BUT MY MILL IS INSIDE ME I SHOULD SO LIKE TO SEE IT SAID TOMMY SMITH YOU NEVER CAN DO THAT SAID THE WOODPIGEON IN AN ALARMED TONE OF VOICE FOR YOU WOULD HAVE TO KILL ME FIRST AND THAT WOULD BE A MOST SHOCKING THING TO DO BUT IT IS THERE ALL THE SAME THOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE IT AND IT IS CALLED THE GIZZARD
