Father feeds the birds gathered in the barn
Though never seeing his hand
Sparrow is told to thank him
But it was her mother who flew into the sky
And brought a penny to the nest.
It is the same hand
Sparrow is told to thank
That provides the cat its dinner
A repast out of Sparrow’s nest
When mother wasn’t home.
One’s meal is another’s loss.
Sparrow and Father don’t get along.
