"It doesn't matter, we'll give it to the birds!"
What did this mean? Burak wondered if everyone had memorized these sentences lately. What were the “unimportant” things to give to the birds? Too much bread, uneaten food, bitten and abandoned biscuits, rotting fruits...

At that moment, Burak looked at a bird that came right in front of him. He had a tiny bread crumb in his mouth. A crumb of bread, just what you need, and a very important one...
