A sky full of kindness

The little bird landed upon the ledge of the tower. All of the birds made way for the very oldest bird, who very slowly came right up close and gently whispered to her "welcome back", and in a voice just as small the little bird replied "I think I'm ready" the oldest bird smiled, "My dearest child, most people spend their entire lives only trying to get hold of as much as they possibly can, but you are different, all through your great journey you never once gave up and through the kindness that you gave and the kindness you received you learnt the greatest lesson that any mother could teach her child, that the real thing is not to see how much you can get, but to see how much you can give.
