My family always keeps water and grains for the birds 365 days of the year. Also, we ensure to maintain considerable amt of greenery around ourhouse. One afternoon in May 2005, when i alongwith my sister n sister-in-law went upto my terrace, we were shocked to see s tiny sparrow drouned in a bath tub filled with water on our terrace.My and my sis's heart went out 4 d poor bird n i felt guilty dat d bird had drouned coz of me, as i was d one who had left water in d tub.We then,slowly poured water out of d tub by tilting it. My sis plucked a leaf to pick/hold d fainted bird and she put her on an empty flower pot.I ran dwn n got rice grains 4 d bird, and kept d grains vry-2 near d beak, as d bird had not gained conscious.Aftr spending 10-15 minutes, we had 2 come inside d house for some work 2 b completed. But, soon aftr we heard lot of sparrows chiping loudly, as if trying 2 say something. We both ran out 2 see wht hadhappened. To out utter amazement, the tiny sparrow had flown off with the othr sparrows and there were no rice grains as well.We,then realized dat by chirping loudly,it was their way of saying thanks. Not just dat, next day i got good news in a newspaper that i had cleared a competitive exam and d closed doors of my job were opened. I never looked back after this incident and always thank d lil birdy 4 getting me a respectable job..Also my sister, within 2-3 days, of this incident, scored excellent marks in her studies.It was and will always remain the most memorable incident of both of our lives.
