 * I really liked the story __The King and His Hawk__ by James Baldwin. This story is about Genghis Kahn and his pet hawk. He went hunting and got very thirsty. He filled his cup from a slowly dripping spring. His hawk knocked his cup from his hands before he could drink! This happened several times, so the king got angry and killed the hawk.
