The Unskilled Monkey
A young monkey found a peanut.
It hadn't seen any peanuts till then. It had heart that they were great. It had put the peanuts to its mouth and it had nibbled it. Being angry for threw it away. An older monkey had seen it picked gravel broke it and ate the kernel. Then it told the young monkey: "If you can't think of your own, the least you could do is ask for a piece of advice from the older ones."
"Little wit in the head makes much work for the heel!"
