Quote from "The Wild Swans" (1838)
"Fly out into the world and make your own living," the wicked Queen told them. "Fly away like big birds without a voice."
But she did not harm the Princes as much as she meant to, for they turned into eleven magnificent white swans. With a weird cry, they flew out of the palace window, across the park into the woods.
