A swallow travelling from far wanted to settle down. She built her nest in the wall of the court of justice. Soon, she had settled down in her nest. After a few months, she had several babies. One day, the swallow went away to get some food. While she had gone, a hungry serpent glided to her nest. He saw the young nestlings in the nest. Finding the mother missing, the serpent quickly ate up the young nestlings. When the swallow came back, she was shocked to find her babies gone. Only their bones were there. The swallow started crying and moaning loudly. She exclaimed, “I have been wronged in a place where all others’ rights are protected as this is the court of justice.” The poor swallow flew away from there never to come back.
