Story With A Moral..Or 3

by Mike Sigers on January 25, 2006

In the essence of the way Liz over at biz.erati does some of her posts, I’m going to tell you a little story that has 3 points/lessons/truths for you.

Sorry, if you’re offended by the word crap, you might not want to read any further.

There once was a young bird who left his home up north a little too late in the year for his first trip south for the winter.

He got caught up in a blizzard with howling north winds that chilled him to the bone.

He couldn’t fly any further and fell to the ground in a cattle field.

There he lay, freezing. Near death, he saw a large bull come over. The bull saw his plight and decided to help the little bird, so he crapped all over him.

The warmth from the crap brought up his body temperature. He soon felt like he was gonna live. The joy he felt made him break out in song !

A large farm cat that was in the barn heard his song and came out to see what the fuss was all about.

Seeing the little bird there in the crap, the cat couldn’t pass up an easy meal, so he swatted the little bird out of the crap ( and the crap out of the little bird ) and devoured him on the spot.

There’s 3 lessons here.

1) Everybody who craps on you isn’t your enemy.

2) Everybody who helps you out of the crap you’re in isn’t your friend.

3) When you’re in deep crap, sometimes the best thing to do is keep quiet.
