Everything is beautiful there.
Once upon a time, he experienced sadness. It is so deep that he feels he can not forget it. therefore, he took one stone and kept it. He always carries it everywhere.
flying, sleeping, feeding, the stone is always there.
b. Days passed and this sparrow experienced another disappointment. He took another stone to mark his sadness.
Whenever there is a bad or sad event, he will pick up another stone. The size of the stone signifies as much as he feels about it.
Week after week, month after month, and year after year passed. The longer, the more stones the sparrows bring.
The various rocks he possessed from the stone of sadness, disappointment, anger, and so on.
Until finally came one day when he could not fly anymore. The stone he was carrying was very heavy and heavy.
Now, wherever he goes, he can only walk while dragging the stones.
He was no longer strong enough to carry him and fly.
This happened for a while. Before long, the sparrow could not even walk.
The stones he carries so much. he can not even afford to eat or drink anymore.
He can only stay silent all day, looking at the stones full of bitter memories.
One when he can not bear it, this sparrow is so thirsty and hungry, his body is emaciated.
he then said to himself, (Okay I throw some of these little stones.This is just sadness that does not mean much I should be able to give it away).
After that, the sparrow throws away the little stones it carries. he can find food and drink again now,
How glad the sparrow is because it does not need to starve. However, he still can only walk.
He can not afford to fly with large stones.
up to one when, this sparrow sees other birds flock freely in the sky.
None of them carries stones.
Therefore, he said to himself, I should not have brought these stones.
I have to fly freely. let kuikhlaskan and release these bitter memories. I want to fly back.
The sparrow then left all the big rocks on the ground.
He flapped his wings firmly into the wide sky. Now he could shout again,
(I am free).
