One snowy day，the winds grew stronger and the snow turned into a blinding snowstorm．A farmer sat down to relax before the fire for the evening．Then he heard a loud knock，something hitting against the window．He looked outside but could not see anything．So he went outside for a better view．In the field near his house he saw，of all the strangest things，a group of swans(天鹅)．

They were apparently flying to look for a warmer area down south，but they had been caught in the snowstorm．The storm had become too blinding and violent for the swans to fly or see their way．They were trapped on his farm，with no food or shelter，unable to do more than wave their wings and fly in aimless circles．He had compassion for them and wanted to help them．

He thought to himself，the barn(谷仓)would be a great place for them to stay．It was warm and safe；surely they could spend the night and wait out the storm．So he opened the barn doors for them．He waited，watching them，hoping they would notice the open barn and go inside．

However，they did not notice the barn or realize what it could mean for them．He moved closer toward them to get their attention，but they just moved away from him out of fear．He went into the house and came back with some bread，broke it up，and made a bread trail to the barn．They still did not catch on．

Starting to get frustrated，he went over and tried to drive them toward the barn．They panicked and scattered into every direction except toward the barn．Nothing he did could get them to go into the barn where there was warmth，safety，and shelter．Feeling totally frustrated，he exclaimed，“Why don’t they follow me?Can’t they see this is the only place where they can survive the storm?How can I possibly get them into the one place to save them?”
