Impatience Gets You Nowhere

One day, a crow and a sparrow were building their nests. The crow was in a hurry and didn’t want to work too hard. He quickly made his nest in some bushes, without much care.

The sparrow, on the other hand, worked very hard. She collected strong twigs and small pebbles to make her nest sturdy and lined it with soft feathers to make it comfortable.

A few days later, a big storm with heavy rain came. The crow’s nest couldn’t survive—it broke and fell apart. But the sparrow’s nest stayed strong because of the hard work she had put into building it.

Moral of the story: Hard work and patience always pay off. Rushing things often leads to failure.
