A North Dakota story for you:

During a North Dakota blizzard a small bird tried valiantly to fly toward the south to get away from the weather, but eventually sank exhausted into a snow bank and was buried. A lost horse gallops by and makes a dump on the spot where the bird was buried. The warmth from the horse pucky rejuvenated the bird and it began to chirp. A cat slinks by, hears the bird, digs it out of its white grave and eats it.

Here is the moral of this whole tale:

• Not all who dump on you are your enemies
• Not all who help you out of a jam are your friends
• And if you are warm and comfortable, keep your mouth shut
