+a farmer placed nets on his newly-sown plowlands and caught a number of cranes which came to pick up his seed
+with them he trapped a stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the farmer to spare his life
+pray save me master
+he said
+and let me go free this once
+my broken limb should excite your pity
+besides i am no crane i am a stork a bird of excellent character
+and see how i love and slave for my father and mother
+look too at my feathers -- they are not the least like those of a crane
+the farmer laughed aloud and said
+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
