Description

It is no use to bend a stick if it can not bend, the same way a stone can not be used to shave the beard and there is no way that an illiterate can follow a command. Suchimukh is an example of above said statement


Foolish Monkeys and the Bird’s warning


A herd of monkeys lived in a forest in a mountainous area. They were all shivering as they got drenched in rain during the cold season. To get some warmth, they gathered dry grass that looked like fire and tried to generate fire by blowing on the dry grass.


Seeing them making futile efforts, a bird named Suchimukh came to them and said, "What a foolish thing you are doing. Fire can not be ignited like this. Instead of shivering in the chill here, find a cave and save your life by sitting inside it. Look, the clouds are still black, it will rain more now.”


One of the old monkeys said, "Mind your own business. We don't need your knowledge."


The bird ignored by the monkeys started saying the same thing again and again, "Oh monkeys! Don't waste your energy in vain like this."


When the bird did not stop repeating, an angry monkey grabbed both his wings and slammed him on a stone.
