在一棵橡树上住着一只老猫头鹰。他看见了很多事情的发生经过。他多听少说,变得越来越明智。
There was an old owl1 that lived in an oak. Everyday he saw incidents happening around him. Yesterday he saw a boy helping2 an old man to carry a heavy basket. Today he saw a girl shouting at her mother. The more he saw the less he spoke3
 
 
As he spoke less, he heard more. He heard people talking and telling stories. He heard a woman saying that an elephant jumped over a fence. 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 be observant, talk less but listen more. This will make you a wise person.
