Snow White's friends














Winter time.......and climate change or not....it's still freezing cold.

We, humans, tuck ourselves in cold-weather outfit, stuff ourselves with lots of calorie-rich food, hot drinks and turn on the heater to the max.
But there are other living beings who are not as fortunate as we are....and who suffer tremendously during these yearly bouts of harsh, cold weather.....namely our feathered friends, the birds.


In a bout of compassion, Mainwah (that's my bro) had hung some satchels of birdfeed on a tree. And sure enough, the whole gaggle of neighbourhood birds sensing that there was free food in the offing descended upon those foodsatchels like a pack of hungry, ravenous wolves.
Ofcourse, those satchels became empty in no time.


As it happened to be, my dearest girl noticed those empty satchels and busy-body as she is, she enquired what the use of those satchels were. I duly explained to her what they were supposed to be used for, but since that they were empty the chances of the birds finding enough food to eat is virtually nihil and therefore some of them might.........perish.....or in plain lingo,...die.


My little dragon girl pondered over it for a while and suddenly asked me to replenish the foodsatchels asap. Well, well, well.........my daughter suddenly cares for the well-being of birds? That's a new one.....So I asked her why?

"Daddy, I don't want the birds to die, because they are Snow White's best friends!!"
Gosh, I didn't realize that animations contained a "Save the Birdies" message.
