A Wise Old Owl

There was an old owl that lived in a tree. Everyday he saw incidents
happening around him. Yesterday he saw a boy helping an old man to
carry a heavy basket. Today he saw a girl shouting at her mother. The
more he saw the less he spoke.
As he spoke less, he heard more. He heard people talking and telling
stories. He heard a woman saying that a cat jumped over a wall. He also
heard a man saying that he had never made a mistake.
The old owl had seen and heard about what happened to people. Some
became better and some became worse. But the old owl had become
wiser each and every day.

Moral of the story :

You should talk less but listen more. This will make you a wise person.
