The Swallow And The Crow

Name: Aesop’s Fables - The Swallow and the Crow
Author: Aesop

A SWALLOW was once boasting to a Crow about her birth. "I was once a princess," said she, "the daughter of a King of Athens, but my husband used me cruelly, and cut out my tongue for a slight fault. Then, to protect me from further injury, I was turned by Juno into a bird." "You chatter quite enough as it is," said the Crow. "What you would have been like if you hadn’t lost your tongue, I can’t think."
