| Long,
long ago in a far off land there lived a young man. One day, while
working on his farm, a brilliant white crane came swooping down and
crashed to the ground at his feet. The man noticed an arrow pierced
through one of its wings. |
| |
| Taking
pity on the crane, he pulled out the arrow and cleaned the wound.
Thanks to his care the bird was soon able to fly again. The young
man sent the crane back to the sky, saying, "Be careful to
avoid hunters." The crane circled three times over his head,
let out a cry as if in thanks, and then flew away. |
