There lived a group of monkeys in deep forest. During one winter, there were so cold. They were feeling cold. They needs some fire to be little hot. In the mean time, one of the youngest monkey found one fire fly, which appeared to him as embers of fire. Ho told everybody see I found some fire. Some other monkeys join with him. Hoping to make some fire for themselves, they began to blow at them.
One sparrow was watching the monkeys from above the tree. Considering the vain attempts the monkeys were busy with, it thought of advising them against it, "What big fools you are. You are blowing at some firefly and it can't help you to give warms. You will never be able to make any fire out of this. The monkeys did not listen to the sparrow. They continued to blow at poor firefly.
What you are doing is a waste of time. These firefly will not help you to protect yourself against the cold. Go and find some shelter nearby cave. You may find a cave or a tunnel where you will be protected from the cold winds. The monkeys did not like his advice. One of the old monkeys said, "Go fool yourself. Why are you interfering in our task?" But the sparrow disagreed with him.
In his continues effort to convince the monkeys, the bird came close to explain that their efforts were useless. The monkeys were frustrated by their efforts, the monkeys became angry. One of the monkeys caught the sparrow and smashed him against a stone in anger. It was dead within a minute.
Moral:
Never give advice unless you are asked for it.
