Dear Nikko,
How are you? I am writing to invite
you to my birthday party on 25 January 2011.

One night, as the poor widow was

sleeping restlessly, she heard her husbands
voice. I have come back to help you, the
voice said. The widow sat up and looked
around. She knew she was dreaming, and in
her dream she went outside. A large swan
spoke to her with the Chief Hunters voice.
I know how hard it is for you , the Swan said
in the Chief Hunter s voice. The Widow was
happy to hear her husbands voice, yet sad
because she knew that it was a dream.
The words stuck her throat so she
could not speak. The Swan stood in the
moonlight and said, I wish I could be here
with you. Then it came closer. She could
see that many of its feathers were made of
gold. In the moonlight it seemed to be a
golden swan. The golden swan said, Put
your hand out and take one of my golden
feathers. Use the money for yourself and the
children. Go on, I will return whenever You
need more. Pull a feather out of my wing.
The Golden Swan said in the voice of the
chief hunter, Go to sleep now. In the

morning you will know this was a special

dream. So the widow put the feather beside
her bed and went back to sleep. She slept so
well and so deeply it was as if her husband
were still alive. When she woke up, she
remembered the dream and looked for the
golden feather. There in its place was money
and gold. The woman was very happy and
later she went to the village and bought food
and clothing. She was careful not to spend
too much.
