उत्तर
I support the sparrow for her intelligence:
- The sparrow was worried that the elephant might crack the eggs.
- The crocodile was blocking the way and asked the sparrow to drink muddy water.
- The sparrow gave a warning to the elephant and also to the crocodile.
- But both ignored the sparrow’s warnings.
- So, the sparrow tied both the animals with a strong creeper.
- So, nothing wrong with punishing both the animals, using intelligence.
I oppose the sparrow for using her intelligence to cheat others:
- Sparrow is a very small bird.
- It is not possible to tie both animals with a creeper.
- If the sparrow wanted to safeguard its eggs, it should shift its nest to a safer place.
