On a serene lake surrounded by willows, a pair of mute swans nested among the reeds. The male, a vigilant guardian, patrolled the waters, while the female carefully tended to their eggs. One spring day, a fox approached the nest, its sharp eyes fixed on the unhatched eggs.
The male swan, sensing danger, spread his massive wings and hissed, charging at the predator. The fox hesitated but tried to circle back. This time, the female joined in, flapping her wings and creating a splash to drive the intruder away. Their teamwork saved their offspring. Weeks later, the cygnets hatched, following their parents like tiny grey shadows across the water, a testament to the couple's fierce devotion.
