Once upon a time story

Once upon a time, there was a non-conforming sparrow, who decided NOT to fly south for the winter.

Soon afterwards the weather turned so cold that he decided and reluctantly , I might add, to fly south.

In a very short while his wings became iced up and he fell to the earth in a barnyard, almost frozen.

A cow passed by and crapped on the little sparrow. The sparrow thought it was the end. But the manure warmed

him and defrosted his wings. Warn and happy and able to breathe the sparrow began to sing.

Just about this time, a large cat came by, and, hearing the chirping, sought out the sound. The cat cleared away

the manure and promptly ate the sparrow he had found.


THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS:

1. Everyone who shit's on you is not necessarily your enemy.

2. Everyone who gets you out of the shit is not necessarily your friend.

3. And, if you're warm and happy in a pile of shit, keep your mouth shut!!!
