INSPIRATION FOR THE UNHAPPY
|
|
|
|
Once upon a time, there was a little sparrow who hated to fly
|
|
south for the winter. He dreaded the thought of leaving his home
|
|
so much that he decided he would delay the journey until the last
|
|
possible minute. After bidding a fond farewell to all his sparrow
|
|
friends, he went back to his nest and stayed for an additional four weeks.
|
|
|
|
Finally the weather turned so bitterly cold that he could delay
|
|
no longer. As the little sparrow took off and started to fly south,
|
|
it began to rain. In a short time, ice began to form on his little
|
|
wings. Almost dead from cold and exhaustion, he fell to the earth
|
|
in a barnyard. As he was breathing what he thought was his last
|
|
breath, a horse walked out of the barn and proceeded to cover the
|
|
little sparrow with fertilizer. At first the sparrow could think of
|
|
nothing except that this was a terrible way to die. The fertilizer
|
|
started to sink into his feathers and warm him and life begaan to
|
|
return to his little body. He also found that he had enough room to
|
|
breathe.
|
|
|
|
Suddenly the little sparrow was so happy he began to sing. At
|
|
that moment, a large cat came into the barnyard; and hearing the
|
|
chirping of the little bird, began digging in the pile of fertilizer
|
|
to find where the sound was coming from. The cat finally uncovered
|
|
the bird and ate him!
|
|
|
|
Now this story has three morals...
|
|
|
|
1) When you are warm and comfortable, even if it
|
|
is in a pile of shit ---
|
|
Keep Your Mouth Shut!
|
|
|
|
2) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy
|
|
|
|
3) Not everyone who takes shit off you is
|
|
your friend
