  • 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 killing1 the Goose, the cook went to take him at night, when it was dark, and he was not able to distinguish one bird from the other, and he caught the Swan instead of the Goose. The Swan, threatened with death, burst forth2 into song, and thus made himself known by his voice, and preserved his life by his melody.

    Sweet words may deliver us from peril3, when harsh words would fail.
