Saying the right thing at the right time
Once upon a time, a student once went to his teacher. He asked his teacher a
question: “ Sir, is there any good in talking a lot?”
The teacher replied: “Toads and frogs croak night and day, but no one pays any
attention to them. But the croak crows at a certain time of night and wakes up
everyone.”
