RATING: VERY GOOD AND SURPRISING
SPOILERS!!!
A narrator tells us about a family who live near his home by the lake. He describes the old man and his wife, and how they have two girls and a boy. This man reveals how something happened to the boy, who was a simpleton. The family came and went on fishing trips, and once when they went to what we think is a village the children didn't return. Yet, the boy came back, and it was obvious that the old man was not happy, but accepted his presence. Then one day the narrator finds the body of the son and as he buries him, he calls the old doctor a murderer. It is then that we discover that the old man is a swan and the young ones are cygnets.
I think this was a very original tale, and it really surprised me.
