A moving fairytale about respecting the right to live of other creatures. Anton farms his land and feeds his family well, until one spring when there is no rain and his crops fail. So one winter night he sets out through the snow to hunt for game to feed his starving children. All he finds is a beautiful swan, swimming silently. He raises his gun, but he cannot kill this magnificent creature to bring food to his family's table. His mercy does not go unrewarded, for as the swan rises from the water, Anton is showered with diamonds and his fortune is made. A member of the Authors' Guild, Brenda Seabrooke is the author of "The Dragon That Ate Summer".
