mmxgn@0 1 a farmer placed nets on his newly-sown plowlands and caught a number of cranes which came to pick up his seed
mmxgn@0 2 with them he trapped a stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the farmer to spare his life
mmxgn@0 3 pray save me master
mmxgn@0 4 he said
mmxgn@0 5 and let me go free this once
mmxgn@0 6 my broken limb should excite your pity
mmxgn@0 7 besides i am no crane i am a stork a bird of excellent character
mmxgn@0 8 and see how i love and slave for my father and mother
mmxgn@0 9 look too at my feathers -- they are not the least like those of a crane
mmxgn@0 10 the farmer laughed aloud and said
mmxgn@0 11 it may be all as you say i only know this i have taken you with these robbers the cranes and you must die in their company
