The Swallow
Other Birds
It happened that
Countryman was sowing some hemp seeds in
field where
Swallow and some other birds were hopping about picking up their food
`Beware
man,' quoth the Swallow
`Why,
he doing ? ' said the others
`
hemp seed
sowing; be careful to pick up
seeds, or else
repent it
' The birds paid no heed
Swallow's words, and by and
hemp grew up and
into cord, and
cords nets were made, and many
bird that had despised the Swallow's advice was caught in nets made out
very hemp
`What did I tell you ? ' said the Swallow

Destroy the seed of evil, or
grow
your ruin
