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
