A teacher in my building is looking for a story she remembers from her
childhood....

A statue of a prince is in a courtyard.  A bird visits the statue and sits
on it.  The statue is old and lonely and no one ever comes to see it
except the bird.  The bird tells the statue that people in the village are
starving and the statue says "Pluck the stone from my eye" and sell it to
help the people.  As time passes the statue becomes more and more decrepit
and the bird remains its only visitor.

Does anyone recognize this??
Thanks for any help.
