Tell
me the weight of a snowflake,"

a sparrow asked a wild dove.
"Nothing more than nothing," was the answer.
"In that case I must tell you a marvelous story," the sparrow said.
"I sat on the branch of a fir, close to its trunk, when it began to snow -
not heavily, not in a raging blizzard.
It fell without any violence.

Since I did not have anything better to do,

I counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and needles of my branch.

Their number was exactly 3,741,952. When the 3,741,953rd dropped
onto the branch, nothing more than nothing, as you say - the branch broke off."
The dove thought about the story for a while, and finally said to herself,

"Perhaps there is only one person’s voice lacking for peace to come to the
world."
