We've all heard the saying, "The early bird catches the worm", right?
Well, this Cardinal is proving that true, in a sense...
We observed him sitting on top of our car early yesterday morning,
which is parked right under the sycamore tree.
Hanging down from the tree was a spider web with some kind of insect attached.
This innovative and intelligent Cardinal discovered that by sitting on top of the car he could actually dine on this captured feast without having to strain his wings at all!
Not too sure that the spider was very happy about this confiscation of his "goods",
but, like the old proverb says,
"The early bird catches the worm!"
Another good proverb, from the
Book of Proverbs 20:13 says:
"Do not love sleep,
lest you come to poverty;
Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread."
(or worms..or bugs caught in spider webs?)
I hope you enjoyed this bit of wisdom taught to us today by Mr. Cardinal...
with a little help from King Solomon!
Have a blessed day!!
