pan flute

A slightly older boy likes to be in an area with plenty of water, where he not only row and swim, but also observes the animals living there. Breeding birds have settled in the reeds of the water and swans glide majestically over the water. The boy loves to play on his pan flute . While he is playing from his boat, his gaze glides over the water. He is surprised to find that a swan is approaching him that seems to be ready to attack. The boy plays a gentle melody on his pan flute and it actually has a calming effect on the animal, which turns away and circles again on the water.
