A man caught a tiny bird.
“Let me go, and I will give you three valuable pieces of advice,” the bird told him.
The bird promised to give the first advice while remaining in the hand, the second - sitting on a branch, and the third - flying to the top of the hill.
The man agreed and asked what her first advice was.
- If you lose something, don’t regret it. The man released the bird, and it sang from the branch:
- Don’t believe what seems ridiculous and has no evidence.
Climbing to the top of the hill, she shouted:
“I swallowed two large emeralds.” If you killed me, you would have them.
In despair, the man grabbed his head.
“Give me at least your third piece of advice,” he said, coming to his senses.
- Why do you need the third advice? - exclaimed the bird, - you regretted what you lost and believed the absurdity! Think about how a small bird can fit two large emeralds? You are stupid and my advice will not help you.
