Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


It was in the Umpqua Valley that they heard the parable of the
white sparrow. The farmer who told it was elderly and
flourishing. His farm was a model of orderliness and system.
Afterwards, Billy heard neighbors estimate his wealth at a
quarter of a million.


"You've heard the story of the farmer and the white sparrow'" he
asked Billy, at dinner.


"Never heard of a white sparrow even," Billy answered.
