The Farmer and the Stork 1
A FARMER placed nets on his newly-sown plow 2 lands 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 3 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."
Birds of a feather flock together.
