When the Queen of Sheba, the wisest woman in the world, comes to Jerusalem to present an unusual request to King Solomon, the wisest man in the world, the fate of every bird in the world is at stake.

SPOILER: King Solomon promises to do something for Sheba, but when he realizes the terrible price that birds will pay if he completes his task, he realizes that it is better to fail and break his promise.
