Panchatantra Stories - Suggestion

 SUGGESTION

It was night. Winter season. Many animals were sleeping in the forest. But few monkeys were jumping from tree to tree as they had no warm house to live in. they were hungry also. they were shouting.

   They saw few worms flying form one end to the other. While doing so they were spreading light. The monkeys thought that it is fire.

"Let all of us go towards fire and warm up. The cold is severe."

Monkeys spoke to each other.

Nearby a bird was sitting in a bush.

Hearing what monkeys spoke the bird said: 

"Friends ! it is not fire. they were worms.

The monkey didn't like what the bird said, "Who told you ? who asked you to suggest ? you are impertinent "

Thus a monkey said and killed the bird. "Oh ! God ! I did a mistake . I should not have suggested these fools "

thus the bird said and died.

MORAL:

Suggestion to fools is a waste.
