Once upon a time there lived a bird. The bird was lively and cheerful. It always chirped and sang very loudly together with its friends. However, it was a bit too light-hearted.

The summer passed and autumn came. The days were getting shorter and it was getting colder. The other birds had already flown to the south for the winter but our little friend was still singing.

One day it was so cold that the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing it out! It lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to twitter for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug it out and ate it.

The moral of the story:

First, not everyone who dumps on you is your enemy.

Second, not everyone who cleans it off is your friend.

Third, when you get dumped on, ______________________________________ .
