And if the swan survives being shot, the girlfriend has a broken wing, or her left side is full of feathers. And if it is a raven, there are three of them, watching and waiting; and if it is a fish, it either has a ring in its mouth or it turns into a golden girl; and if it is a robin, it weeps; and if it is a whale, it is followed by the blighted lover in lessons 1-50 of this book.
