The Parable of the Bird: When to Keep Your Mouth Shut!

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he lay there dying, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out!

As he lay there all warm and happy, he soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.


Moral of the story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!

I am blogging these nuggets that I picked up from various postings online to brighten up our day.
