Once upon a time
there lived a poor weaver and his wife in a small cottage. One winter night
they heard a knock at their door. When
they opened the door they were surprised to find a beautiful girl dressed in a
white silvery robe shivering in the cold.
The old couple
quickly brought her in and asked her to stay with them. One day the girl said,
“Father, I’ll weave a stole for you every night. But you must promise that
while I am weaving no one will come into my room.” Though surprised, the old
man agreed and that night the girl shut herself in a room.
Early morning, she
came out with a rich and beautiful stole. This went on for a few days until one
night the old couple were very curious and they peeped into their daughter’s
room. And there saw a beautiful swan weaving with her silver feathers. The swan
saw them and said in a sad voice, “now that you have seen me, I can’t stay here
anymore. The swan said to the old couple I thought I would have loved to stay
here forever, but you broke the promise. Then the swan flew away.
