	Three birds, a sparrow, a lark, and a bluejay found that they were
frequently hungry, and agreed to form a cooperative to provide food for
themselves on a consistant basis.
	A vote revealed that they all wanted to eat bread. So with some
effort, they went out and gathered the grain, and water to make the bread,
but they needed yeast.
	After a long search (the story of which I will spare you from, as
life is short) they happened upon a sourdough roll. They secreted the
roll to a private place and covered it with a cloth to let it rise over
night. Each of them was to stand guard duty for a part of the night. But
when the sun rose, it was gone.
	Since there had been a watch all night, they all concluded that
one of the three of them must be the culprit. This caused much questioning
and denial until the sparrow noticed that the lark was making frequent
short flights, high into the sky.
	Sparrow followed the Lark on one of these flights, and at the peak
noticed an acrid odor in the air.
	So he accused the Lark saying...







"Lark, what height thou wind doth break?
 For it is the Yeast, and'you have et the bun."
