Solution

I support the sparrow for her intelligence:

  1. The sparrow was worried that the elephant might crack the eggs.
  2. The crocodile was blocking the way and asked the sparrow to drink muddy water.
  3. The sparrow gave a warning to the elephant and also to the crocodile.
  4. But both ignored the sparrow’s warnings.
  5. So, the sparrow tied both the animals with a strong creeper.
  6. So, nothing wrong with punishing both the animals, using intelligence.

I oppose the sparrow for using her intelligence to cheat others:

  1. Sparrow is a very small bird.
  2. It is not possible to tie both animals with a creeper.
  3. If the sparrow wanted to safeguard its eggs, it should shift its nest to a safer place.
