One day, a hunter set up a trap to see if he could catch a hawk. When he returned to the forest, hours later, he found a partridge inside the trap.
– Lord hunter, release me! – exclaimed the partridge. – If you let go of me, I'll show you a place where there are a lot of partridges!
– None of that! If you've fallen into my trap and want freedom in exchange for your sisters, you deserve to go to the pot.
