1 a farmer placed nets on his newly-sown plowlands and caught a number of cranes which came to pick up his seed
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
3 pray save me master
4 he said
5 and let me go free this once
6 my broken limb should excite your pity
7 besides i am no crane i am a stork a bird of excellent character
8 and see how i love and slave for my father and mother
9 look too at my feathers -- they are not the least like those of a crane
10 the farmer laughed aloud and said
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
