The Professor and the Stork
-
A young girl, Magda, has fallen on hard times. She has lost both her parents, she has no home, and it is wintertime. But she is very good with words (which is why she eventually names herself a Professor), and fortunately she has made friends with a stork who knows how to play the piano. They team up and fly south, where it is warmer and where together they entertain the people with their songs. But a selfish King wants them to perform only for himself. He locks them up in his palace. The end of the story tells about how they escape and what they do afterwards.
