Reread stanzas 5 and 6. Which statement BEST describes Father William's response?
He offers wisdom to his son in
the form of a great
suggestion.
"You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws
are too weak
For anything tougher than suet;
Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and
the beak-
Pray, how did you manage to do it?"
He provides a logical reason
for why he is able to eat a
bird's beak
He makes a joke that his jaws
are strong from arguing with
his wife.
"In my youth," said his father, "I took to the
law,
And argued each case with my wife:
And the muscular strength which it gave to my
jaw
Has lasted the rest of my life."
He fondly remembers his days
as a lawyer, arguing cases in
court.
