The Crane and the Heron

The Crane and the Heron

An owl, free of care, flew here and flew there, and then happily it lit on a tree. It twirled its tail fast, looked down at the ground and took to the air with never a sound. Now, this is just the little tale before the big tale, and the big tale is still to come.

Once upon a time there lived a crane and a heron who each had a house at the two opposite ends of a swamp. The crane felt very lonely all by himself and decided to get married. “I think I’ll go and ask the heron to marry me,” said he.

Off he went across the swamp, plunkety-plunk, he waded through it for a whole four miles and then there he was at the heron’s doorstep.

“Are you there, Mistress Heron ?” he called.

“Yes, I am !” the heron called back.

“Won’t you marry me, please ?”

“No, Crane, that I won’t !” Your legs are too long and your coat is too short, you are a poor flyer, and you have no food to give me. Go away, Spindly Legs !”
