The Goose and the Swan

15
  A CERTAIN rich man reared a Goose and a Swan, the one for his
table, the other because she was reputed a good singer.  One night
when the Cook went to kill the Goose he got hold of the Swan
instead.  Thereupon the Swan, to induce him to spare her life,
began to sing; but she saved him nothing but the trouble of killing
her, for she died of the song.
