nightingale
A fly-catching bird with a recognisable voice and a man who is dying. The Chinese Nightingale is a special story. In this fairy tale, the nightingale keeps the emperor alive. A bird acting as a nurse. Just as that nightingale was the light in the darkness, Florence Nightingale was the woman with the lamp. A nurse during the Crimean War and the founder of modern nursing. But did you know that she is also the inventor of the polar diagram? Nightingales are all-rounders. Without them, there would be no Red Cross — and no whistling tune on your morning walk.
