Fable, printed in the (german) booklet

"Tell me, what does a snowflake weigh?" said the coal tit to the pigeon. 

"Next to nothing," was the reply.

"In that case, I have a wondrous story to tell you," said the coal tit. "I was sitting on the branch of a fir tree one day, quite close to the trunk, when it began to snow. It didn't fall violently like in a wild storm, no... but rather as in a dream, soundlessly and weightlessly. Since I had nothing better to do, I counted the snowflakes which came to rest on the twigs and needles of my branch. There were exactly 3,741,952 of them. When the three million, seven hundred and forty one thousand, nine hundred and fifty third flake fell — as you say, a mere nothing — the branch broke." And so saying, she flew off.

The pigeon, a specialist in such questions since way back when Noah built his ark, reflected briefly, and then said to herself, "Perhaps it would only take a single extra person's voice for there to be peace on earth."
