If You Are Unhappy #OnceUponATime

Not spending so much time on social media has made me start to reorganize my office/music room/life-space.  I just found this typewritten on a piece of paper used as a bookmark for a book I haven't touched in almost 17 years.  It came at the exact right time....  Also, I still don't trust cats.




If You Are Unhappy

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

However, soon the weather turned so cold that he reluctantly started to fly south.  In a short time ice began to form on his wings and he fell to Earth in a barnyard, almost frozen.  An old 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.  Warm and happy, able to breathe, he started to sing.  Just then, a large cat came by and hearing the chirping, he investigated the sounds.  The cat cleared away the manure, found the chirping bird and promptly ate him.

The moral of the story is:

1.)  Everyone who shits on you is not necessarily your enemy.

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

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