The Story Of The Sparrow Poem by Ima Ryma

The sparrow in winter did fly,
Leaving the safety of its nest.
Into snow it fell from the sky.
Buried in ice cold be a test.
A cow walked over this bird's spot,
And on that place did drop some dung,
Warming to melt the snow a lot.
The sparrow was saved, its joy was sung.
The song was heard by a cat who
Came by and saw the sparrow, yup.
Being a cat what did it do?
Of course it ate the sparrow up.

Whether you meet a foe or friend,
Each can assist you to your end.
