 Once upon a time there was a little sparrow who hated to fly
south for the winter... He did'nt want to leave home so he decided
not to leave till the very last minute... After saying farewell
to his friends, he flew back to his nest and waited for the cold
weather. Finally, it became so cold he could bear it no longer.
 While flying south he came upon an ice storm, which coated his
wings and forced him to the ground. As it happened, he landed
in a farm yard and found himself at the wrong end of a very
large horse. The next thing the little sparrow knew, he was covered
with 'fertilizer'. At first all he could think of was "what a terrible
way to die". But as the fertilizer began to sink into his feathers,
it warmed him and life began to return to his body. When he moved
he found he also had room to breathe. Suddenly, the little sparrow
was so happy he began to sing! At that moment a large cat entered
the barn yard and heard the chirpping. He deciced to investigate
the fertilizer to find out why it was moving and singing. Well, the
cat dug out the little sparrow and ate him.


    This story has '3' morals:


1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy...

2) Not everyone who takes shit off you is your friend...

3) When you are warm and comfortable, even when you're in shit
   up to your eyeballs, keep your damn mouth shut!
