Paul Harvey told this as a true story. A boy named Jimmy was asked what kind of a bird he would like to be. Jimmy answered, "Sparrow." Perhaps Jimmy was thinking of Jesus' words that we are of more value than many sparrows (Matthew 10:31). Jimmy was told, "Nobody likes sparrows," but Jimmy replied, "I do."
