· Once upon a time, a bird was migrating for the winter. She flew for a long time and it got very cold. It got too cold that it fell. She was on the floor freezing and all of a sudden a cow comes and takes a crap on her. She gets warm from the crap and she can move a little now. Then a cat came and cleaned up the bird. After she was all cleaned up the cat ate the bird. The morale of the story is just because something looks nice isn’t always a good thing, it could be a bad one. And bad things can help you sometimes. God says here: “ don’t wish something too badly, it could be a bad one and also don’t hate something too much, it could be useful for you. Just trust in me and I will always take care of you”.
