I Once Did a Bamboo Painting for Somebody — Now He Wants Me To Do Another. I Have Written This To Answer Him

This bamboo I painted a long time ago.
Now you want me to do another? — Impossible!
When the sparrow grows old
it becomes a clam in the sea.
You ask it to turn back into a sparrow,
but how can it fly again?
