“two crows in a field”
Two crows found themselves in a field near Roanoke, poking about the same dead mouse. “There’s enough for both of us,” one said. “Certainly,” the other replied. Then, he asked, “Where are you from?” “Here,” the first crow answered. “I was born not far from where we’re standing.
    
“Where are you from?” he then asked to be polite. “I blew in on the wind,” the other said.
