All the fish in the bottom of the sea were arguing. They were upset because many of them were being caught. So they called a meeting to discuss this important issue. They all agreed that they were being tricked by the fishermen’s hooks. Some of them said they were surprised because the hook was hidden in the bait. Others said they were just curious and were tricked. Yet others claimed that they actually never bothered to think of the consequences if they ate the food attached to the hook. Finally, an old experienced fish spoke up and brought the argument to a conclusion by saying: ‘Brothers and sisters, all that you are saying makes a lot of sense, but I believe that none of the fish would have been caught if they just kept their mouth shut!’
Who knows how many times we were disappointed by opening our mouth and said the wrong phrase. We would have been better off if we said nothing. Maybe we can really learn something worthwhile from an old experienced fish.
