The Swallow And The Other Birds
The Swallow And The Other Birds
It happened that a Countryman was sowing some hemp seeds in a field where
a Swallow and some other birds were hopping about picking up their food.
"Beware of that man," quoth the Swallow. "Why, what is he doing?" said the
others. "That is hemp seed he is sowing; be careful to pick up every one of
the seeds, or else you will repent it." The birds paid no heed to the
Swallow`s words, and by and by the hemp grew up and was made into cord, and of
the cords nets were made, and many a bird that had despised the Swallow`s
advice was caught in nets made out of that very hemp. "What did I tell you?"
said the Swallow.
"Destroy The Seed Of Evil, Or It Will Grow Up To Your Ruin."
