The shabby sparrow

The shabby sparrow

2 mins
146


There lived a sparrow on the big mango tree. She was very shabby and untidy. Whatever she did, she used to break two to three branches, making many leaves fall and other birds get up under false alarm. She also littered around the tree making the surrounding unclean. She had this bad habit of getting up at night all of a sudden and making everyone around jump.


This sometimes created nuisance for other birds living around. However the sparrow was extremely loving, caring, and talkative. She was friends with almost everyone and thus they ignored her shabby habits.


One day it so happened that a hummingbird had just lay eggs in the nearby nest. It was night time and all were fast asleep including the unborn birdies. Out of nowhere a snake was slithering climbing up the tree to eat the eggs. Unaware of the danger coming so near the hummingbird innocently shifted in deep sleep from side to side. Now the snake was 2 feet away making hissing sound. The cute birdies' beautiful world would come to an end, it seemed. Just as the dangerous snake was about to pounce on his food, he got suddenly thrown away from the tree. Around five to six branches broke, some twenty to twenty-five leaves got scattered in the air and the hummingbird woke up immediately noticing what was about to happen. The snake's misfortune knew no bounds. It fell on a sharp-edged branch & died immediately.


From that day on, the sparrow became even more popular and the most beloved friend of everyone.


So, in life, sometimes, your bad habits do good things which can change someone's life forever.
