Melody/Lyrics

This song is a true comical ballad for children and, most probably, the longest one too. A child picks up a pebble to throw at sparrows and the entire village prematurely starts planning a feast full of dishes prepared from sparrows. Along the way all societal groups of the village are being presented. And, in the meantime, the sparrows fly away.
