The Swan And The Goose
Aesop Fable: The Swan And The Goose
A certain rich man bought in the market a Goose and a
Swan. He fed the one for his table and kept the other for
the sake of its song. When the time came for killing the
Goose, the cook went to get him at night, when it was
dark, and he was not able to distinguish one bird from the
other.
By mistake he caught the Swan instead of the Goose.
The Swan, threatened with death, burst forth into song
and thus made himself known by his voice, and preserved
his life by his melody.
