One day, an old bird came and sat on the tree. He saw the little bird was not happy and asked him why. After hearing the little bird's story, he asked, “Why don't you find another tree to live in?” “I don't want to leave my friend.” the little bird said. “Well then, are you just going to sit there and do nothing to help your friend?
