Two Sparrows

Two sparrows meet on the Soviet border. One is flying from France to the Soviet Union, the other from the Soviet Union to France.

'What do you want to come here for?' the Soviet sparrow asks the French sparrow.

'Well, you see,' replies the French sparrow, 'I'm hungry. In France nobody spills grain on the roads, there are no holes in the barns, and I'm starving. Now I've heard that in the Soviet Union there are holes in the barns and they spill grain on the roads . . .'

"That's true,' says the Soviet sparrow. 'There are holes in the barns and there is grain on the road . . .'

'Then why are you flying in our direction?'

'Well, how can I explain it,' replies the Soviet sparrow sadly. "There is grain on the roads and you won't die of hunger... but I'm bursting to be allowed to sing . . .'
