Description: A stork unhappily fell into the nets that a Paisan had set to catch some birds that had come to ravage his land; seeing herself caught, she asked the Paisan for mercy, pointing out to him that she had not come to cause him any damage, since she was more sensitive to her loss than to the reasons of this miserable man, and she gave him her life as she had the others, without wanting to hear him more.
