An old fisherman and his wife lived there. The fisherman went fishing every day and his wife just stayed at home raising chickens and ducks. They were shut away from the outside world except shopping at the grocer’s. One autumn, some swans came to the island from the faraway north to live through the winter. As they had been very lonely since they moved here, the old couple were so glad to see the swans there, so they fed them with small fish and chicken food. Soon, they became very close friends. The swans enjoyed themselves and went out with the old fisherman and saw him fishing. When the lake was frozen, the couple brought them into their hut and gave them food. Even when winter was over, the swans were unwilling to leave away from the fisherman, looking for food on the lake in the daytime and resting on the island at night. The old couple looked after them carefully until spring came when the ice on the lake melted. For many years, the old couple did so. But one day, the old couple became very ill and died. Since then, the swans could not find anybody to take care of them and finally they died of cold when winter came and the lake froze. [寫作內容 ] 1． 以約 30 個詞概括短文的主要內容。ll buy it, ________.
