It's a very cold winter deep in the heart of Russia and this poor little bird has nothing to eat and is slowly dying on the road side.<br>
This peasant leading his horse passes by and sees the poor little bird. He stops, wandering what to do and meanwhile the horse dumps some dung.<br>
The peasant has an idea: he takes the poor little bird and puts it into the pile of dung, up to the neck.<br>
Pretty soon the warmth of the dung revives the poor little bird and he begins pecking on the dung, like birds do. And he is very happy because he is warm and he has a lot to eat.<br>
So, he begins to whistle, like birds do.<br>
A hungry fox, passing by not far away, hears the whistling, comes to investigate, pulls the poor little bird out of the pile of dung and eats it..<br>
Three lessons are to be learned from this:<br>
1)- People who will bury you up to you neck in s...t don't necessarily want to harm you.<br>
2)- People that will pull you out of the s..t do not necessarily want to help you.<br>
3)-And whatever happens, when you're up to your neck in s..t, it's better not to whistle. <p></p><i></i>
