The Frozen Sparrows

Marta lived in a cold country where winters were long and dark. When the first
snow fell, all the birds flew south.

One morning, Marta woke up and saw the snow falling. She ran outdoors. There on

the ground lay ten little sparrows. They were frozen.

Marta gathered the poor little birds into her apron. She carried them into the
kitchen and laid them near the warm oven of the big stove. Marta watched the sparrow
until they began to move. Their wings fluttered and they flew out of the oven. Marta,
then, fed them bread and water. When the snow stopped, she opened the door and let
the sparrows fly away.
