It's evening. Today was Sunday. My shop was closed and I was free. I decided to visit the jungle to see how it looks in the noon. I told my parents and my wife where I was going and that I'll return by noon. They allowed me.
As I came out of my home, I saw a lad aiming at a sparrow perching on a lower branch of the tree in front of my house.
I shouted at him. He was apparently afraid and looked at me. I threatened him, " Don't do such things in front of my house. I won't tolerate it. Go away somewhere else."
He immediately ran away.
I want to ask you, was what I did right??
I saved a innocent bird's life.

You could have been more gentle about it and explained to the young boy why it was wrong.

We each do things according to the way we were brought up. You saved the bird's life. How you did that doesn't really matter.

Thank you. I'm glad I saved a bird's life. And I had no option. The lad would have killed the sparrow if I had not shouted at and threatened him.

@Shivram59 You're welcome. And I agree, if you had not shouted, he would have shot and killed the bird.

@DaddyEvil I know the lad. He's the son of a drunkard and a pick pocket. A dropout from school, he is a soiled boy. Therefore I shouted at him and threatened.
Thank you.

Thank you, my friend. I saved the sparrow's life. That's what I'm happy about. Had I talked to him politely, my words would have fell in deaf ears and he would have killed the bird.
