It was a very cold winter night! A sparrow had spent two nights out with
only the meagre shelter of a tree. He decided that he couldn't survive a
third night, so he left the tree to find a better shelter.
As he flew he got colder and colder, until his little wings froze
solid and he fell to the ground. As he lay there freezing he realised
that his end was nigh and he prayed for death to come quickly.
Suddenly, in his semiconscious state, he had a feeling of being
enveloped in a warm covering. He regained consciousness to find that a
friendly cow had dropped a luxurious deposit all over him. The warmth
gave him a new lease of life, and the sparrow's comfort made him feel
very happy, so he started to sing.
A passing fox heard the chirping, located the heap, carefully removed
the excrement to reveal the little sparrow, and promptly ate him up...
There are three morals to this sad story :
1. If someone shits on you, they are not necessarily your enemy.
2. If someone gets you out of the shit, they are not necessarily
your friend.
3. If you are in the shit and happy, keep your mouth shut !!!
