Self rescue
Crow Betty said to Agudemba: I
protected the little swan. The little swan’s grandfather, Old White Goose, who
is now the Swan King, specially invited me to visit the Swan Kingdom.
The white swans performed a
beautiful swan dance. No one would dislike my black feathers.
I learned more about the life
of a swan. Most swans are monogamous and stay together for life. There are many
courtship behaviors, and the male and female will tend to perform the same
actions in unison, and they will also preen each other's feathers
considerately. The old white goose became the king, and his wife was called the
Swan Queen. She loved her husband and children very much.
Due to the mad cow disease
epidemic, humans lacked enough food, so they hunted swans in large numbers. The
Swan Queen said to the old white goose: "We can't just wait to die and let
humans slaughter us mercilessly. If we want to survive, we have to fight!"
So, Old White Goose summoned
all the swans, and he chaired a swan meeting. He said to the swans: We all like
to live in groups in lakes and swamps. We mainly eat aquatic plants, and of
course we also eat snails and software. animal. But now, due to the epidemic of
plague, some villages in the global village have been forced to close down.
Those people who are starving and have lost their minds actually regard us as
the best food. We are already dying. Tell me, what should we do?
The swans began to talk among
themselves:
As long as we stay away from
humans, we can avoid human killings.
Only those swans that surrender
to humans will become delicacies on the table.
We should choose to go to the
Arctic, where there are few people.
If we go to the Arctic, then
our main enemy should be the cunning Arctic fox, and we should study ways to
deal with the Arctic fox.
The swan couple stays together
for life and is very responsible for their offspring. In order to protect his
nest, eggs and chicks, the swan king finally chose the Arctic as his main
survival habitat, and was also prepared to fight to the death with Arctic foxes
and other animals.
Crow Betty said to Agudemba:
Old White Goose said something very philosophical to me: If you want to survive
in this world, you can only rely on yourself, and the only hope that can save
you is yourself.
Crow Betty sang a song
"Self-Saving" written by Old White Goose:
when we come to this world
Our ideal is freedom
we can fly freely
We all love each other for life
The world is not a paradise
Evil will always follow us
they see us as prey
we should treat them as enemies
We face a vicious enemy
Never let down your guard and give up your guard
We must work together to fight
Self-salvation depends on unity
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 fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
