One day I caught a little bird,
And brought it home into a nest,
Then gave it some corn and rose bud,
Yet, away it flew to the west.
Then I went out, bought a fair ram
And made beautiful pen for it
But then, the ram wanted a lamp
Hence it ran away to the east,
I went and caught a butterfly
Then tendered yellow rose for it,
But it wanted to always fly,
Hence I began to wonder a bit;
And awhile, I went out again
And caught a dreadful owl, in shame,
Brought it home and kept on a tree,
Owl admired it and did not flee,
No wonder my dad had ten wives,
The most beautiful ones awhile
Became the ugliest in the world
While the ugliest one with a beautiful heart,
Became the most beautiful in the world
Who clung on to my dad
Till death threw them apart;
And hence the most beautiful one
Has the most beautiful heart,
So this world is so deep to understand.
