. The peacock and the wishing-fairy and other stories . a sudden his feathers became the most beautiful hehad ever seen, and he was so happy and excited that he forgotto drink out of the Get-big-pool after he had thanked Stellaand told her good-by. When he had gone and was already quite a ways home, hesuddenly remembered the Get-big-pool, and he went all theway back to it to drink out of it, so as to become as large as hehad been before he had drunk out of the Get-little-pool.
