Song

Blind Daddy sung all the time in his orchard, which was filled with various kinds of birds. He could imitate the song of every bird. He invited people to come to his orchard, listen to his songs and fill their ears with song instead of buying birds and jailing them in cages. He filled the sound of nightingales in the cage of a man, the sound of canaries in another man's cage and filled the ears of an old woman with the sound of partridges. People came to his orchard with a cage and Blind Daddy filled their ears with songs and they left their cages behind. In this way all the cages in the town were gathered in the orchard. One day Blind Daddy burnt all the cages and since then nobody kept a cage in the town.
