The story of the Sparrow’s Misfortune

The moral of the story: Only give advice to those who want it, or you might get into trouble.

Once upon a time, deep in the jungle, there lived a couple of sparrows. They had built a cozy nest on the branches of a huge tree. It was a comfortable home that kept them safe in all weathers.

One winter day, as they were enjoying their warm nest, it started raining outside. A monkey came to take shelter under the same tree. He was all wet from the rain and shivering from the cold.

The female sparrow saw this and felt sorry for him. She said from her nest, “Oh Monkey, you have hands and feet like humans. You can use them for many things. Why don’t you build yourself a protected home?”

The monkey was already suffering from the rain and cold and didn’t want any advice. He replied, “You silly sparrow! Why can’t you keep your mouth shut?”

But the female sparrow continued her advice. She explained how she was able to enjoy her warm home and didn’t suffer from heat, cold or rain. This made the monkey very angry.

The monkey thought, “What a silly bird! She talks as if she knows everything and won’t stop chirping. She’s making me so angry that I might as well hurt her. I’m already suffering from this rain and cold, I don’t want to hear any advice.”

The female sparrow kept chattering and giving advice.

At one moment, the monkey became so angry that he climbed up the tree and destroyed her nest.
