A cow once stumbled upon a wounded bird lying on the ground in pain and discomfort. Doing what cows do best, the bird was left covered in a heap of manure. Suddenly she felt warm and cozy. So happy was the bird with her newfound comfort, she began to sing.
Drawn by the sweet sounds, a farmer working in a nearby field made his way to the singing bird. The farmer was dismayed to find the poor bird lying on the ground submerged in dung.
The farmer immediately removed the bird from her wretched surroundings. Painstakingly he cleaned the bird and carefully placed her down. To his great surprise the little bird would no longer sing, in fact, she was noticeably withdrawn.
Realizing that he had upset the bird by removing her from her comfortable and cozy surroundings, the kind farmer looked at the bird and said: “Little bird, little bird, let me teach you some very important lessons in life:
First of all: Not everyone that makes you feel comfortable is necessarily your friend. Secondly: Not everyone that makes you feel uncomfortable is necessarily your enemy. Finally, Dear Birdie: When you are wallowing in manure, it is not the time to sing.”

NASHVILLE, TN — When Nechama Rothstein arrived as a new Chabad-Lubavitch emissary to Nashville, Tenn., last week, her husband, Rabbi Shlomo Rothstein, soon left for New York to attend the International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries. In typical fashion, she saw his absence for the first Shabbat as an opportunity to reach out to local college students: Instead of preparing for a quiet family affair with her 10-month-old Mendel, she had another idea.
