The Swallow, The Serpent, And The Court Of Justice

Aesop Fable: The Swallow, The Serpent, And The Court Of Justice


A swallow, returning from abroad and especially fond of dwelling with men, built herself a nest in the wall of a Court of Justice and there hatched seven young birds.

A Serpent gliding past the nest from its hole in the wall ate up the young unfledged nestlings.

The Swallow, finding her nest empty, lamented greatly and exclaimed: "Woe to me a stranger! that in this place where all others’ rights are protected, I alone should suffer wrong."
