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 that he would delay the long journey until the last possible moment.
So, after bidding farewell to all his sparrow friends, he went back to his little nest and stayed for an additional four weeks. Finally, the weather became so bitter cold that he could stay no longer. As the little sparrow took off and began to fly South for the winter, it started to rain. In a short time, ice began to form on it's little wings. Almost dead from exhaustion, he fell to Earth in a barnyard. As he was breathing what he thought was his last breath, a horse walked out of the barn and proceeded to cover the little sparrow with fertilizer. At first, the little bird could think of nothing except that this was a terrible way to die. But as the fertilizer began to sink into his feathers, it warmed him and life begab to return to his little body. He also found that he had room enough to breathe.
Suddenly, the little sparrow was so happy he started to sing. At that moment, a large cat came into the barnyard, and hearing the chirping of the little sparrow, began to dig into the fertilizer to find out where the sound was coming from. The cat uncovered the little sparrow and ate him.
Now, there are 3 morals to this story:
1. Not everybody who shits on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who takes shit off of you is your friend.
3. If you are warm and comfortable, even in a pile of shit, always remember...
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!
