*"The Stubborn Little Bird"* "There was a stubborn little bird who refused to fly south with the others when winter came. Soon it snowed, and the little bird, freezing, tried to start flying south. Instead, he froze and fell into a barnyard, where a passing cow crapped on him. The warmth of the crap revived him and he began singing joyously. A nearby cat heard the singing and promptly dug him out and ate him. The moral of the story is: Not everyone who craps on you is your enemy. Not everyone who gets you out of the crap is your friend.
