Three Hundred Æsop's Fables/The Geese and the Cranes
THE GEESE AND THE CRANES.
The Geese and the Cranes fed in the same meadow. A birdcatcher came to ensnare them in his nets. The Cranes being light of wing, fled away at his approach; while the Geese, being slower of flight and heavier in their bodies, were captured.
