To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then he said, very softly, "What will you give me?" 152 The Swan and the Crow " Silver and gold have I none, " said the Crow, " but I'll tell you what I will do. I'll carry your father's bones to the Holy Land, and bury them in Jerusalem, and then your father will be sure to go to heaven. " The Judge was so foolish that he really believed his father would go to heaven at once, if only his bones were buried in Jerusalem, although his father had been as wicked as himself while he was alive. So he... agreed to the Crow's proposal.
When the case came into court, of course the Judge gave decision in favour of the Crow, though there was no evidence on his side except his own word : and who but a fool would trust the word of a Carrion Crow ? When the court rose, the Crow flew to the house of the Judge, and asked for the bones of the Judge's father. So the Judge tied up his father's bones in a bag, and hung the bag round the Crow's neck. Away flew the Crow, but he didn't fly far ; for as the Judge watched him, the Crow hovered over a filthy drain ; and untying the bag, began dropping the bones one by one into the mud.
