The Owl and the Nightingale
There was once a nightingale in a cage by a window that was his habit to sing only at night. An owl was puzzled by this and went to ask the nightingale what the reason was. “When I was captured“, explained the nightingale, “it was day and I was singing. In this way I learnt to be more carefully and to sing only at night.”
“Are you afraid you might be captured a second time?” asked the owl. “Oh, it would have been better if you had been more careful the À rest time when your freedom was at risk. Now it doesn’t really matter anymore, right?”
