Every morning at 6 am, I used to spread some rice grains in my front-yard garden and every morning quite a lot of sparrows used to come and devour on them. But, once or twice, I overslept and could not wake up at 6am, the sparrows came into my room and three to four of them were sitting on my bed and calling me. They know that it is me who give them food. One of them even came close to my ear and started chirping. That day, my father gave them the grains, but they did not eat. They only eat from my hands, only when they see me spreading the grains for them. I don't know whether they spy on me or not, but this is the truth. |
