White Swan
An unprecedented mad cow disease plague
has made the world panic. Mad cows have been hunted down all over the global
village, and even those who are not sick have been banned.
The little bull "Call" adopted
by Allen has quietly run away from home for some unknown reason. Alan lost his
beloved pet and was filled with confusion.
One day, Allen took his camera, broke the
confinement order, and wandered outside. Inadvertently, she met Agu Demba.
Agudumba was traveling by the river with
his donkey. There is a man driving a group of white swans by the river.
Alan followed the group of white swans to
take photos. She said to Agudemba: This scenery is so beautiful.
Agudemba asked Yani: "Do you know
where these white swans are going?"
Agudengba pointed at the middle-aged man
wearing a black Tibetan robe and said: "Look at this man, he is beating
the geese with branches. He is the executioner of the slaughterhouse
boss."
Allen asked Agudenba strangely:
"Where did he drive these white swans?"
Agudemba said: "Due to the epidemic
of mad cow disease, animal restaurants can no longer sell beef, so they are
cooking goose meat instead. These geese are sent to the slaughterhouse. After
the slaughter is completed, these white swans are sent to the animal restaurant
Now, do you want to enjoy the delicious taste of swan meat?"
Alan looked at these poor white swans and
was stunned.
Agudemba said: White swans are migratory
birds among the wild goose family. They are distributed on all continents
except Africa and Antarctica, mostly in Eurasia. White swans are the largest
group of ducks in the Anatidae family. The neck is slender, exceeding the body
length or the same length as the body; the base of the mouth is high and the
front end is flat, and the eye glands are exposed; the tail is short and round,
and the webbed feet are powerful. In the market, white swans are indeed
delicacies on the tables of citizens.
At this time, Allen saw an old white swan
still waddling the figure eight steps, walking slowly and holding its head
high. They did not know that they were about to be killed. This old swan is
obviously the leader of this group of swans, it should be said that it is the
leading goose. He looked a little old, because his pace was slower and he was
often scolded by the executioner who beat the geese with branches.
Allen said to the old swan: "Do you
know where you and your companions will be sent?"
Old Swan said: "Perhaps we will be
sent to the mad cow plague detection station. It is said that some people
suspect that we are infected with the mad cow disease plague virus."
The old swan raised its long neck and said
to Allen: "Those people don't even know who we are? We are definitely not
ordinary domestic geese, we are proud swans. Swans are the best flying
champions in the world, and our flying height It can reach 9 kilometers and can
fly over the world's highest mountain - Mount Everest. The Chinese call us
swans, hongs, cranes, swans, white swans, yellow swans, yellow cranes, etc.
Many place names still contain these words, such as Yanmen Pass, Huling, Huze,
Yellow Crane Tower, etc. How do those stupid people know the lofty aspirations
of Honghu? "
Allen was silent.
The old swan said that our ancestors once
saved Rome. More than a hundred years ago, our ancestors defeated all enemies
and created a brand new world without oppression or exploitation.
Agudemba smiled: "That was just a
utopian society. Those Romans did let the world enjoy the beautiful swan dance,
but the show ended and the powerful Swan Dynasty disintegrated. What else do
you have to show off?"
The old swan was angry: "We will
definitely rule the world again! Our ancestors once ruled Eurasia."
Agudengba quietly told the old swan in
goose language: "Please stop boasting about your ancestors. I already know
that the guy who beat the geese with branches is the executioner of the
slaughterhouse, and he is sending you to be slaughtered." Then, you will
be handed over to the chef of the animal restaurant. When you are brought to
the table, you will only be eaten with applesauce."
Because Agudenba whispered these words to
the old swan in goose language, the executioner at the slaughterhouse did not
notice what they said quietly.
At this time, the old swan also seemed to
understand that disaster was waiting for them. But the old swan didn't know
what to do.
At this time, Agudemba persuaded the old
swan to try to leave here as soon as possible. He also told Allen: When the mad
cow disease epidemic occurred, Mr. Feely not only obtained all the sick cows
and dead cow carcasses from the Shanweng Feeding Farm for free, but also got a
Considerable labor fee. He also processed these harmful and diseased cattle
into canned beef and introduced it to the consumer market, making a lot of
money. After all these sick cows were slaughtered, the animal restaurant could
no longer sell beef, so these bad guys prepared to cook goose meat and fixed
their evil eyes on these poor white swans. You have to understand that your
lover, Mr. Philly, is not a kind man. Why did your adopted bull calf
"Call" run away from home quietly? When he discovered that Philly had
sold him to the executioner in the slaughterhouse, he cleverly escaped.
The old swan decided to leave here with
the geese, and Allen also decided to leave Philly. They had only one goal: to
fly to freedom.
There are always some people in the world
who like to boast about how great and glorious their ancestors are, but they
have no idea what happiness and joy they have brought to this society, let
alone the dangers that often occur around them.
Looking at Allen and the white swans
flying into the sky in the distance, Agudengba rode his donkey and sang the
snowy Buddhist song "Song of Friendship":
Be cautious when
making friends,
Don’t make love
with jackals or foxes;
There are many
false feelings and lies,
The butcher
tyrant is ruthless.
Love and care for
each other in times of trouble,
It’s hard to know
when you meet by chance;
The icing on the
cake is not uncommon;
It is rare in the
world to offer help in times of need.
All Men Are
Brothers,
There are endless
benefits to choosing your friends carefully;
There are many
evil people who only seek profit,
It takes time to
understand people's hearts.
Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fables makes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
