Dawn usually wakes up very early in the morning to the chirping of birds outside her window. One morning, Dawn was so angry to be awakened that she threw a stone at one of the birds. It hit and killed the bird.

Later that day, Dawn was out searching for firewood when she fell into a drain. She broke her ankle and could not get up. She was very worried as the sky was turning dark. Dawn knew nobody would walk past that place at night and she would have to wait till the next morning before she could be saved. She saw two birds flying towards her. Dawn recognised the birds as the friends of the one she had killed. The birds flew away. After a while she heard footsteps and saw a bright light from afar. Dawn saw that it was her father who had come to rescue her. The same two birds were with her father. "The birds led me here. The helped you," her father told her. Dawn felt guilty for what she had done in the morning and she was never cruel to animals again.
