From the library
A FARMER placed nets on his newly-sown plowlands and caught a number of Cranes, which came to pick up his seed.
SOME CRANES made their feeding grounds on some plowlands newly sown with wheat.
The Owl next advised them to pluck up the seed of the flax, which men had sown, as it was a plant which boded no good to them.
“Good,” said he, as he went away; “this is a fruitful soil, and I feel certain that the seed sown will not be cast on barren ground.”
