There lived a sparrow in Jamnagar. She had a strange desire. She tied a small bag to her back and started collecting the emotions of people she saw. Anger from one, jealousy from another, irritation, avarice, sorrow, vengeance, pride, etc.
So the bag became full. As days went by, the sparrow was unable to fly freely as before. It sat on a low branch sadly.
One day she shared the matter with her friend, a dog. “What bag is this? Why are you carrying it. I think that’s why you are not able to fly,” said the dog. “Oh, no, it’s only a small bag,” said the sparrow. “Listen to what I say; just throw off the bag and try,” insisted her friend.
“O.K.” said the bird and threw off anger. She felt lighter. One by one she threw off irritation, jealousy and the others. She took off to the skies and flew round and round and thanked her friend.
Dear child, do you understand? Bad emotions will pull you down. But good emotions like love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self-control will make you fly above the clouds.
