“Swallow,Swallow,Little swallow,will you not stay with me for one night ?”
“It is winter.I am waited for in Egypt.”
“Little swallow,you must go away to Egypt.”
“You are blind now,I will stay with you ,always.”
“Goodbye,dear prince. Will you let me kiss your hand ?”
“I am glad that you are going to Egypt at last. You must kiss me on the lips ,for I love you .”
“It is not to Egypt that I am going ,I am going to the House of Death. Death is the brother of Sleep.”
Little swallow kiss the prince on the lips,and fell down dead at his feet. At that moment a crack sounded inside the statue as if something had broken.
