4. Somewhat different than 'The Story of the Little Sparrow.' It went like this:
|
A little sparrow was flying south for the winter, but had stayed too long and it was snowing and ice coated his wings.
He finally lands in a snow drift and tries to get out. He can't do it and is still nearly covered in snow. Then a horse comes along, who doesn't see the bird struggling in the snow. The horse relieves himself and takes a dump on the little sparrow. Who is depressed, bewailing his ignominious fate. 'This is the end!' He says to himself. But the heat of the manure from the horse begins to melt the snow. The little sparrow is so happy as he is freed from the snow, he sings with joy. A fox hears him and works to dig him out. The little sparrow exclaims happily. 'I'm saved!' Then the fox eats him. The Moral of This Story Is: Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. Not everyone who digs you out of shit is your friend.
