A pigeon had just made a long journey. He was faint from exhaustion and thirsty from his flight. Just as he was about to get home, he saw a cup of water painted on a billboard. Thinking the cup was real, he flew toward it and hit the billboard. Having crushed his bill, he fell and landed in the palm of a bystander’s outstretched hand. The pigeon feebly tried to coo his thanks while the bystander began to heal him.
