#FolktaleMoment

One of my favorite beer #Folktales from Estonia:

Sparrow wants to make beer, roasts 1 grain of barley and drops it into a pond. He offers animals a drink from his beer pond.

The mouse and the dog pretend it's beer because they don't want to disappoint the sparrow.

The cat pretends it's beer hoping to eat the sparrow. The horse tells the sparrow the truth, but still drinks.

The sparrow decides to use two grains next year. 🍺

nostr:npub1xyfe8kpjavl2enln8mfpekgckecuq7ra3mpvj0clg6fxnf92w76s7f5ww5 I think it might mean a lot of things, depending on who you ask. I like it because all the animals treat the sparrow with kindness (except for the cat but even that one doesn't eat him), despite him doing a funny thing. And because the sparrow is happy with his beer pond regardless of whether it is good beer or not?
