Reward

I saw two birds
diligently pick up straw
and place it on two spots
in close vicinity on the same tree.
They were building their nests i suppose.

One would cheat at times
pick up a straw or two
and slyly move towards her side.
The other bird was more industrious
and with a quick turn-around
managed to collect
twice as much in the same time.
This went on for some days
and when she thought her nest was done
she picked up the extra straw
and placed it on the other's half done home.

Wow ! I said to myself
here's one doing no good to the other
but the other is so giving.
What is her reward?
Doing good I suppose.
