The Little Sparrow

by: Author Unknown,

Once upon a time there was a little sparrow who decided not to fly south for the winter. Soon,
however, it turned so cold that he reluctantly started his migration. In a short time, ice began to form on the
little bird's wings and he fell the earth in a barnyard, almost frozen. A cow passed by and crapped on the
little sparrow. The little bird thought it was the end. However, the manure warmed him and defrosted his
wings. Warm and happy, able to breathe, the little sparrow started to sing. A nearby cat heard the chirping
and decided to investigate. Locating the source of the sound, the cat found the little sparrow, uncovered
him from the manure and promptly ate him.
