Panchatantra:
Sparrow And Monkey
A pair of birds lived on the branches of a dense tree in a forest. Both lived happily in their nest.
It was winter season. One day Hemant's cold wind started blowing and it started drizzling along with it. At that time a monkey, shivering from the snowy wind and rain, sat on the branch of that tree.
His teeth were cracking due to the winter. Seeing him the bird said, “Oh! Who are you? Your face looks like a man's; You also have hands and feet. Still you are sitting here, why don't you live by building a house?”
The monkey said, “Oh! Can't you keep quiet? You do your work Why do you ridicule me?”
Still the bird kept saying something. He got angry. In anger, he destroyed the bird's nest in which the birds lived happily.

“The Lesson: Not everyone should preach. The education given to the wise bears fruit, the education given to the fool sometimes turns out to be the opposite.”
