In an ancient temple, a number of sparrow lived happily on roof top.
When the renovation of the temple began for the annual temple feast the sparrows relocated themselves to a Church nearby.
The existing sparrows in the Church accommodated the new comers very well.
Christmas was nearing and the Church was given a facelift, All the sparrows had to move out and look for another place.
They were fortunate to find a place in a Mosque nearby, The sparrows in the Mosque welcomed them happily.
It was Ramadan time and the Mosque was repainted, All the sparrows now came to the same ancient temple.
One day the sparrow on top found some communal clashes below in a market square.
The baby sparrow asked the mother sparrows
"Who are these people ?
The mother replied; they are "Human beings".
The baby asked,
But why are they fighting with each other...?
The mother said "These human beings going to temple are called 'Hindus' and the people going to Church are called 'Christians' and the people going to Mosque are called 'Muslims'.
The Baby sparrow asked, "Why is it so? When we were in the Temple we were called sparrows, when we were in the church we were called sparrows and when we were in the Mosque, we were called sparrows. Similarly they should be called just 'Human beings' wherever they go"?
The mother sparrow said,
'You, me and our sparrow friends have experienced God and that's why we are living here in a highly elevated place peacefully.
These people are yet to experience God.
Hence they are living below us and fighting and killing each other.
