When a man one day to fierce war was called
A crow in a tree at him loudly cawed:
– Go to fight, and die for your land out there
And your wife, for certain, bastard child will bear”.
Hearing this, the guy didn't want to leave
So after a while, despite of his strength
He was sentenced harshly and was put to death.
Lesson:
He, who everything believes
Won't take long before he grieves.
