Synopsis
Spoiler shield

There once was a little sparrow, a little dopey and helpless. He wants to become an adult and independent, so he seeks advice from different birds and animals. But can someone teach him wits better than his own life experience and the example of other sparrows? After all, all those to whom he refers, have another way of life.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
