Report

     A RAVEN saw a Swan  and  desired  to  secure  for  himself  the  same
beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid  white  color  arose
from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the  altars
in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took  up  residence
in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as  he  would,
he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.
     Change of habit cannot alter Nature.
