The Raven And The Swan
Aesop Fable: The Raven And The Swan
A raven saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the
same beautiful plumage.
Supposing that the Swan’s splendid
white color arose from his washing in the water in which
he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood
where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the
lakes and pools.
But cleansing his feathers as often as he
would, he could not change their color, while through want
of food he perished.
Change of habit cannot alter Nature.
