An ancient legend tells the story of a wise old man who lived in a log cabin in the mountains. He was reputed to know the answer to any question ever brought to him. Well, one day two mischievous boys decided they were going to play a trick on the old fellow. They would ask him a question he Couldn’t answer! After plotting one night, high in the loft of a dark barn they shot a blinding light into a sparrow’s eyes. Quickly they picked the stunned bird up and made their way to the old man’s house. One of them could feel the bird’s frightened, fluttering heartbeat in his hand as he held it snugly. Now, with their hands behind their backs they would pull a trick on the old man.

They would say..”what do we have in our hands?” and if he guessed a bird. They’d say “what kind of bird?” if he guessed the sparrow, THEN THEY WOULD TRAP HIM! They would ask the tricky question.”Tell us wise one, is it dead or alive?” If he said “ALIVE” they would squeeze the life out of the sparrow and prove him wrong. If he said “IT’S DEAD” They would prove him wrong by simply letting the bird FLY!

They walked up the mountains and knocked on the door of the old wise man. They waited nervously, their shaky hands behind them. The old man opened the door and said..”What is it my boys?”

Excited, they answered..”Sir, tell us if you can what we hold in our hands?”

His eyes pierced through them. He waited then he spoke. “a bird”

They said..”well, Sir, what kind of bird?”

“A sparrow”

They poked each other and asked..”Tell us, old man, is it Dead or Alive?”

He looked and looked and thought. and finally hr spoke..”AS YOU WILL HAVE IT, MY BOYS”
