(for those who dont know: its about an Emperor who befriends a Nightingale to hear its beautiful singing. theres a lot of different variations but i think the og is the nightingale is eventually replaced by a jeweled automaton version and leaves when unappreciated.

the automaton eventually breaks enough where it can only sing once a year. so when the Emperor falls ill with Death on his chest, he tries to get the automaton to sing his pain away but it remains silent. suddenly the real nightingale returns and sings the Emperor back to health and persuades Death to leave.

the Nightingale declines to be in the Emperor's court again, but agrees to come back and sing when it can)
