The sparrow.

Once upon a time a sparrow got captured by a man.

The sparrow asked: “What will you do to me?”

The hunter said: “I will kill you and eat you. ”

The sparrow replied: “I am very small and would be just a little bite for you. If you let me go I will teach you three lessons which could be useful to you for a life time .”

The hunter thought that wasn’t a bad idea and responded: “Alright, tell me the first lesson now in my hand, the second lesson when you are flying and the third one when you sit on that tree. ”

 

The sparrow agreed and said: “Never regret your loss. ”

The hunter opened his hand and the sparrow continued: “Never believe the impossible. ”

The sparrow then sat on the tree and said: “If you had killed me, you could have owned the 2 kilograms of gold stone that I am carrying in my stomach. You would have been rich. But you let me go. ”

The hunter got so sad but there was nothing he could do, and asked for the third lesson.

The sparrow said: “You didn’t listen to the first two lessons, why do you need to hear the third one? I told you not to regret your loss, and you did regret losing me. I told you not to believe the impossible, how can a little bird like me carry 2 kilograms of gold?

You should know the third lesson by now; When greed comes along, people believe the impossible. And when they lose everything to reach the impossible, they regret their loss. ” And then flew away.
