There once was a wise preacher.

Every morning he would give a sermon to all his disciples.

One morning, he walked up to the pedestal, and right after he began talking, a bird flew in.

The bird sits on the windowsill and begins to sing.

The preacher stops talking and listens to the bird with his whole heart.

He listens to the sound's beauty and the song's quietness.

Then, the bird flies away.

The preacher turns to his disciples and says, “The morning sermon is over.”
