The bow could be seen as a tool of the old man, something he uses for survival or his trade perhaps. The swallow swallowing something related to the old man could be a metaphor for something unexpected or uncontrollable happening in his life. It could be a story about fate, where the old man has to deal with the consequences of the swallow's action, which might be related to the bow in some way. There could also be cultural or symbolic meanings attached to the bow and the swallow in the context of the story that we don't know yet.

But again, this is just guessing as we lack more context.
