Relief

The starling hath returned victorious from the lion's den! It disquised itslef as a wolf pup, but it worried, knowing one touch could crumple its mask. The starling's mother, a wolf herself, helped: she knew not her daughter to be a starling, for she had covered herself as she transformed from a wolf. If the lion had known it was a starling, it would have snaped and torn her apart. But the starling was quick and deceptive, and can match fire with fire. The starling will be watched, but the starling will live and follow her dream: to fly and float as light as air.
