A little bird was flying in winter. The bird froze and fell onto the ground. A cow came by and dropped some dung on the bird. The bird realized how warm it was and began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing, dug him out and ate him.

Lessons to learn:
1) not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy
2) not every one who gets you out of shit is your friend, and
3) when youre in deep shit, keep your mouth shut
