Sammy the sparrow was going to be different, and stay up north for the winter. He didn’t see the point of flying a thousand miles south, just to turn around and fly back. · Winter arrived, and Sammy realized he had made a mistake. Sammy started to head south, but it was too late. A cold wind froze his wings, and he fell to the ground. It did not look good for Sammy.
Along comes a cow. She deposits a load of warm fertilizer on top of the sparrow. The warm matter thaws out his wings. Sammy has a new lease on life, starts to sing. Sammy is so happy. · A cat is walking through the pasture, and hears the sparrow singing. His claws pull the cowpie off of the sparrow. Before Sammy can get away, the cat grabs it, and eats the sparrow for lunch.
There are three morals to this story. Just because someone dumps on you, they are not always your enemy. Just because someone pulls you out from under the waste matter, they are not always your friend. And last, but not least, when you enjoy good fortune, keep your mouth shut.
