In the hushed calm of a still morning, a young mute swan glides through the water—its pale down speckled with droplets like tiny jewels. Though now small and soft, this cygnet carries the promise of elegance yet to come. In time, it will grow into one of nature’s most regal silhouettes. But for now, it remains a creature of innocence and wonder—floating gently through its first chapter.
