10. A bird of the East
A bird of the EastTold me that God is beautiful
    And that God loves singing.
I believed the bird.
I am now trying to be beautiful myself
In order to sing with God.
A bird of the West
Told me that God is powerful
    And that God loves dancing.
I believed the bird.
I am now trying to be powerful myself
In order to dance with God.
