A Wise Old Owl
Once there was an old owl living in an oak tree.
Every day he observed incidents that happened around
him.
One day the owl saw a boy helping an old man to carry
a heavy basket.
The other day, the owl saw a little girl screaming at
her mother.
Every day the old owl saw many things but each time
kept silent about what he saw.
Over time the owl starts to talk less and less but
this made him hear better.
Now, the owl could hear what the people were saying when
they were passing by the trees.
One day, he heard a woman telling another person how
she saw an elephant jumping over her fence.
In other day, the owl heard how a young man saying
that he had never made a mistake in his life.
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: When you speak less you begin to notice and listen
more so you will become wiser and smarter.
