<h2>THE NIGHTINGALE AND THE SWALLOW</h2>
<br/>
<p>A Swallow, conversing with a Nightingale, advised her to quit
the leafy coverts where she made her home, and to come and live
with men, like herself, and nest under the shelter of their roofs.
But the Nightingale replied, "Time was when I too, like yourself,
lived among men: but the memory of the cruel wrongs I then suffered
makes them hateful to me, and never again will I approach their
dwellings."</p>
<p class="adage">The scene of past sufferings revives painful
memories.</p>
