Once Upon a
Time many many years ago King schlomo
had a good
friend who lived far away beyond the
mountains the forests and the distant
Rivers every year this friend would pack
precious and unique gifts and come to
visit schlomo's Palace in Jerusalem
schomo would always greet him with royal
honors give him wonderful gifts in
return and the two would talk for hours
one day when the friend came to visit
again he handed schlomo a very special
gift a small golden box with a glowing
Diamond inside sparkling like a star in
the
sky but this time when the friend was
about to leave for his home he did
something different schlomo my friend he
said this time I I don't want a gift of
gold or silver I have plenty of that but
I do have a special request teach me the
language of the
animals King schlomo opened his eyes
wide and said my dear friend that is a
dangerous
request knowing the language of animals
is a wonderful gift but it is also very
dangerous if you tell anyone even one
word of what you hear from the animals
you will die
instantly the friend thought for a
moment but then
decided I'm willing to take the
risk this is the most special gift I
could ever
receive King schlomo warned him again
and again until he agreed to teach him
the language of
animals after the friend learned he left
the king's Palace happy and full of
excitement for the adventures he would
hear from the
animals one morning when the man
returned from working in the field he
brought the ox into the stable tied it
up and gave it fresh fragrant
food but the donkey who had been
standing by was left hungry after all
the donkey hadn't worked that day it was
sick
suddenly just as the man was about to
leave the stable he heard a
sound the ox turned to the donkey and
said oh what a hard day I had I worked
nonstop and now my whole body
hurts the donkey lying on the ground and
looking very relaxed
answered dear friend I understand
you I I have a wise piece of
advice pretend to be sick don't eat a
drink and then they definitely won't
make you work
tomorrow the man who heard and
understood the
conversation burst out
[Music]
laughing his wife who was standing next
to him and heard him laughing asked why
are you
laughing but the man remembered King
schlomo's warning and said oh
nothing I just remembered something
funny that happened to me in the field
today the next
morning the ox really pretended to be
sick it didn't eat or drink and the
clever donkey ate all the food in the
stable when the man arrived at the
stable he saw the ox standing to the
side and the donkey licking its lips in
Delight the man smiled and said to his
servant today we'll take the donkey to
work in the field the ox needs to
rest the donkey realized it had gotten
itself into trouble all the way to the
field it mumbled to itself oh what a
mistake I made
now it's me who's working in the evening
when the donkey returned exhausted from
the field the ox asked so how was your
day the donkey sighed and said I worked
very
hard but I heard the master say that if
you keep pretending to be sick he'll
Slaughter you because he doesn't need an
ax that doesn't
work the ox was so frightened that it
immediately jumped to its feet began
eating with gusto and suddenly looked
very
healthy the man saw and heard this and
laughed
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
[Laughter]
again but his wife who couldn't hold
back said you have to tell me why you're
laughing if you don't I won't eat or
drink the man was desperate he looked at
his stubborn wife who seriously declared
if you don't tell me why you laughed I
won't eat drink or even
move so what did the man
do he gathered all his family and
friends stood them in a line in front of
him and said in a dramatic voice I am
about to reveal to you a huge secret
but as soon as I tell it I will
die everyone became very sad tears began
to flow and all the family members
looked at him as though a king were
parting with his crown but amid all the
commotion the man's dog who was sitting
in the corner refused to eat the food
they offered the rooster seeing the food
quickly ran and grabbed it calling all
the hens and chicks to come and eat the
dog raised its head in anger and asked
the rooster how can you eat so happily
while our Master is about to
die the rooster with all his feathers in
order was completely unbothered he
raised his beak and answered I'm not sad
at all because our Master is a fool he
has one wife and doesn't know how to
handle her look at me I have 10 hens at
home and they all listen to me I just
know how to be the
boss so what do you think he should do
asked the dog the rooster replied if he
would listen to me he should yell at his
wife and scare her so she doesn't bother
him
anymore the dog stared at the rooster in
shock but the man who had heard the
conversation didn't waste another moment
he jumped to his feet and shouted
enough how can you shame me into dying
just because of your
curiosity if you keep bothering me I
will bring great trouble upon you that
you can't even
imagine the man's wife shrank in fear
stood up immediately and said I I just
wanted to know but if it's like that I
promise I won't ask anything more
from that day
on peace returned to the man's home and
he sighed in relief the man sat with his
donkey ox dog and rooster and thought to
himself wow what a mess I caused just
because of
curiosity and then he realized some
important
things first of all he learned that you
don't have to know everything
sometimes revealing a secret can cause
big
problems thank goodness the wise rooster
and the loyal dog saved me thought the
men he also
understood that when you
have a special gift like knowing the
language of animals you need to use it
carefully not everything needs to be
shared he smiled to himself true wisdom
is knowing when to be
silent and then when he looked at the
rooster the man began to laugh even a
little rooster can teach us big things
he
said in the end the man understood
something
simple knowing when to speak when to be
silent and when to listen that's the
most important lesson of all
from that day on the man lived happily
and peacefully and never forgot to thank
king schlomo and the wise animals who
taught him a lesson for life
