Once upon a time, there lived a kind hearted man and his
wife. One morning, his wife found a poor little sparrow. She took it gently and
fed it. To show its gratitude, the sparrow stayed with them and sang every
morning. But there was an ill-tempered old woman who didn’t like the sparrow.
She cut the sparrow’s tongue. That’s why the bird flew away to its previous
nest.

his wife looked for the sparrow. They walked a long way, crossed the bridges,
climbed the mountains and passed the woods.
At last, they could find the sparrow’s nest. The sparrow
welcomed them and provided a feast for them. Before they went home, the sparrow
brought two baskets; one was large and looked heavy, and the other one was
small and light. The sparrow asked them to choose only one. They chose the
small and that was the best choice. There were many rolls of silk and piles of
gold in it.
