Vikram learned that talking too much is not as good as speaking wisely . The teacher's

story about the rooster and toad shows that it's important to choose our words
carefully. This story teaches us that meaningful talking is better than endless chatter.

Once upon a time, there was a boy

named Vikram. He was in the third grade

and loved asking questions about

everything. One day, he went to his

teacher and asked, "Is it good to talk

a lot?" He had noticed that some

people talked a whole lot, but

his mom told him that talking

too much is not wise.

His teacher smiled kindly

and told him a story, "Think

about toads and frogs. They make noise all the time, but nobody really

listens to them. Now, consider a rooster. It crows only in the morning, and

we all pay attention to it. So, Vikram, what do you want to be, a frog or a

rooster?" Vikram understood and said, "I want to be like the rooster, sir. I

want to talk when it's important." He realised that it's better to say the right

things at the right time rather than talking too much. As Vikram grew up, he

learned that meaningful words are more valuable than lots of words. He saw

that choosing our words carefully is important.
