chapter 8

A rich man bought a nightingale, and kept it ina beautiful cage and gave it proper food daily.That bird used to sing only during the nights.An owl which was near by asked the nightingale: "Dear friend you never sing during the day.Why do you sing only during the nights?" "While I was singing during the day a hunter came and caught me," the bird answered."That incident taught me a lesson.From then on I have been careful.That's why I stopped singing during the day," "You are in a cage now.You must have done this before you got caught by the hunter.Then you would have escaped this prison," said the owl.Moral: If you are careful before hand,you can escape many troubles.
