MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
TO: ALL PERSONNEL
Once upon a time, there was a little sparrow who hated to fly south for the winter. He dreaded the thought of leaving his home so much that he decided to delay the journey until the last possible minute. After bidding a fond farewell to all his sparrow friends, he went back to his nest and stayed for an additional four weeks. Finally, the weather turned so bitterly cold that he could delay no longer. As the little sparrow took off and started to fly south, it began to rain. In a short time, ice began to form on his little wings. Almost dead from cold and exhaustion, he fell to earth in a barnyard. As he was breathing what he thought was his last breath, a horse walked out of the barn and proceeded to cover the little bird with manure. At first, the little sparrow could think of nothing except that this is a terrible way to die. But, as the manure started to sink into his feathers, it warmed him and life began to return to his body. He also found that he had enough room to breathe. Suddenly, the little sparrow was so happy that he started to sing. At that moment a large cat came into the barnyard, and hearing the chirping of the little bird, begun digging into the pile of manure to find out where the sound was coming from. The cat finally uncovered the little sparrow and eats him.
Now, this story contains three morals:
1. Not everyone who unloads on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who takes the load off you is your friend.
3. When you are warm and comfortable, even if it
is in a pile of manure, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!
