Seems like you like some humour along so saw this and said this lesson in morals is for DCF. 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 earth in a barnyard. As he was breathing what he though was his last breath, a horse walked out of the barn and proceeded to cover the little bird with fertilizer. At first the sparrow could think of nothing except that this was a terrible way to die. But as the fertilizer started to sink into his feathers, it warmed his body. He also found that he had room to breathe. Suddenly the little sparrow was so happy that he started to sing. At that moment a large cat came into the barnyard an hearing the chirping of the little bird, began digging into the fertilizer to find out where the sound was coming from. The cat finally uncovered the bird and ate him. This story contains three morals: 1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. 2. Not everyone who takes shit off of you is your friend. 3. When you are warm and comfortable, even if it is in a pile of shit, keep your mouth shut. Contributed by Nan from Buffalo
