Shita-kiri-Suzume

Wow!
You have a big nice tongue.
It reminds me a Japanese fairy tale "Shita-kiri-Suzume."

How is the story?



There lived a poor old couple.
The old man was honest and kind but his wife was arrogant and greedy.
The man took an injured sparrow back to his house and tried to help it recover.
His wife was annoyed about feeding it on precious food because they were poor.
While the man went to  mountain and the wife went out fishing , the sparrow ate all of starch that she had used and was left out.
She got angry and cut the tongue of the sparrow.
And...



!!!
My tongue  reminds you the story?

Yes.

...............
I'm shaking with fear......
