      The Lark Burying her Father


THE LARK (according to an ancient legend) was created before the earth itself, and when her father died, as there was no earth, she could find no place to burry  him.

 She let him lie died for five days, and on the sixth day, not knowing what else to do, she buried him in her own head.

Hence she obtained her crest, which is popularly said to be her father's grave-hillock.

Moral: Youth's first duty is reverence to parents.
