Once upon a time there was a baby swallow who had only one wing. She could
not fly very far. One day the swallows said, " We must go away across the sea,
for the days are growing cold." Then the swallow with one wing was very sad,
for she could not fly hundreds of miles. She could not live through the winter
alone. In the wood she saw some squirrels." Please, may I live with you?" she
asked: "Can you crack muts for us?" asked the squirrels. "No," said the swallow.
Then you cannot live with us, they replied. The poor little bird walked all
through the wood till she came to a fox. "Please, can I live with you?" asked the
swallow." Can you catch hens?" said the fox. "No," said the swallow. "Then
you are of no use to me," said the fox. So the swallow on and on, feeling very
sad. No one wanted her. Suddenly she saw a door at the side of a hollow tree.
The swallow knocked on the door and Mr. Rabbit came to answer it. "Please,"
said the swallow with one wing," the other swallows have all flown away. May
I live with you?" "Of course you can. We have a big house. My children will
love to play with you," said Mr. Rabbit. "Thank you, Mr. Rabbit. I love children
and am good at telling stories," said the swallow. "Come in, then," said Mr.
Rabbit. "You will give us good company." So the swallow with one wing lived
with the rabbit family and was very happy in their home. And every winter she
went back to them when the other swallows flew away to warmer lands.
