Just as he was putting his head under his wing, some  18  fell on him. He thought it was raining. But when he looked  19 , he found the sky was  20  clear and bright that he could see lots of stars. Suddenly, he saw some tears were running down the Prince’s golden  21 .

22  are you crying?” asked the swallow.

“In a little street, there’s a poor house. From one of the windows, I see a woman  23  at a table. She’s sewing clothes for  24  women to wear. In a bed in the corner of the room, her little boy is sick. He’s asking for oranges, but his mother has only water to give him, so he is crying. The boy is so thirsty  25  the mother is so sad. Little swallow, will you please take her the  26  from the top of my sword (寶劍)?”

“It is very cold here and I am leaving for a warm place, but I will stay with you and do as you ask.”

The swallow took the bright red jewel from the Prince’s sword and flew away with it in his mouth. He flew into the woman’s room and  27  it beside the woman’s needle.

 28  he flew back, he told the Prince what he had done. “It ‘s strange,” he added, “It’s so cold but I feel quite  29  now.”

“That’s  30  you have done a good thing,” said the Prince. The little swallow began to think about this, and then he fell asleep.
