A Man Was walking down a boardwalk just after a winter storm and passed by a bird that was crying desperately for help after being frozen to the railing just above the water; however, the man even though he noticed the bird screaming at him to melt the ice his mind was thinking; What would this critter offer me in return? So, instead of taking the time to help, he kept on moving down the boardwalk to a lower level of the pier where there was an oar leaning on the side of the railing.
Suddenly an osprey was diving for a fish in the water where the bird failed to catch its meal and then was stuck in the water close to where the man was standing. The osprey was calling for help. But the man looked at the oar and then back at the osprey and thought “Those are some sharp talons he’s got, better not get near him, he may attack me with them”. And again, proceeded to walk along.
As the temperature rose, the man had a five-dollar bill and a debit card in his wallet. He soon passed by a feed n’ seed store, and when he turned the corner there was an empty bird feeder with a fledgling cardinal that was whimpering “Please sir could you spare some birdseed or some suet from the store” When the man thought back of the store, there was a small bag of sunflower seeds for seven dollars and some change and a suet cube for four fifty. But then he thought “I could save the money and buy a hamburger later on.”
As the man walked to the nearest Fastfood restaurant he found a strange colorful ball on the ground, picked it up and started shaking it, suddenly a golden cassowary greeted him on the street and the man asked the bird; “Are you here to grant me a wish or two?” The cassowary replied, “Unfortunate for you I will have to deny you even one wish for the way you’ve denied me”. The man replied, “What did I do to deny you Golden bird?” The giant bird explained further; “It’s not what you did, more like what you didn’t do you see.” “You left me stuck in the cold, you left me to drown, and you let me go hungry.” “You’re lucky I don’t decide to cut you down right now, but instead I will let you live to tell the world this.” “Take care of us birds for one day you will be rewarded for your good deeds, and those that deny us have denied the Lord just as any other creature on earth” ...
