Erase una vez una golondrina jovencita a quién no le gustaba volar distancias largas. Claro, llegó la temporada de emigración y todas las golondrinas se fueron a África del sur con la excepción de nuestra compañera, la golondrina jovencita. Después de pasar unas dos semanas como la única golondrina en Inglaterra, la golondrina tuvo un momento pasajero de conocimiento, de sabidura. Sabía que tenía que volar, pase lo que pase. Se compró un billete de avión a Johannesburgo, como pasajero de clase turista y llegó en África del Sur muy relajada.
Once upon a time there was a young swallow who didn't like long distance flying. Of course the time to migrate came and all the swallows left for South Africa, with the exception of our young friend.

He bought himself an airplane ticket to Johannesburg , as an economy class passenger and arrived very relaxed in South Africa.
