We had enough of sympathy for fifty years;it nev-er brought us anything;and we would rather havean angry man going to the government and saying,my business is interfered with and I won't submitto its being interfered with any longer because youwon't give women the vote,than to have a gentle－man come onto our platforms year in and year outand talk about his ardent sympathy with woman suffrage.

Rather than look at helplessly her two babies die in succession, the female eagle thought she should do something. She pulled apart her own chest with the sharp beaks, the feathers that fell off her body being blowed here and there by the icy wind. With feeble strength, she told her last baby who was still at the verge of death:"Eat me…". Outside, the male eagle, who stood for a long time keeping close watch on the food, shook out the snow accumulated in her wings. After making a yowl, he made his best efforts to unfold two wings, flinging into the sky.

与其眼睁睁地看着两个孩子相继死掉，还不如……雌鹰这样想着，用它那锋利的喙撕开了自己的胸脯，脱落的羽毛被寒风吹得四处飘散，它用微弱的力气告诉最后一个还在死亡边缘的孩子：把我吃了吧……外面，伫立着注视已久的雄鹰，抖了抖翅上的积雪，长鸣一声，便奋力展开双翅，直冲云霄。
