Go with the nature! Accept the reality! <br />Better to be quiet than to speak; it rewards! <br /> <br />But, there is a saying, 'Frog loses its life' <br />Due to making its croaking voice, inviting trouble! <br /> <br />Virtuous men who were ordered by God to heaven <br />Had to go to hell since they opened their mouth! <br /> <br />Here is a story! <br /> <br />Two friends earned good name <br />Due to their virtue and became fame! <br /> <br />When they happened to die on the same day, <br />They were taken to heaven by a special aircraft! <br /> <br />They saw a snake trying to swallow a frog <br />Pitying for the frog, one man said, ‘O’ Snake! <br /> <br />Is it not arrogance to kill a live frog? <br />Leave him! <br /> <br />The snake angrily said, ‘It is a normal destiny <br />That frog is supposed to be my food as honey! <br /> <br />As you speak against the rule <br />I curse you to go to hell! <br /> <br />The other man said, ‘what the snake did is correct! <br />Swallowing its natural food, Frog, is right! <br /> <br />The frog got wild and said, ‘you merciless fellow! <br />I am dying and you tell the snake against me to swallow! <br /> <br />The frog cursed, ‘You go to hell! <br />Hence both friends went to hell! <br /> <br />Go with the nature! Accept the reality! <br />Better to be quiet than to speak; it rewards!<br /><br />Dr.V.K. Kanniappan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/better-to-be-quiet-than-to-speak/
