Avoid Bad Company

Tweet

Two friends bought a parrot each.The first parrot was in the habit of cursing and swearing.The second one recited verses from the Gita.The parrots had learnt these habits from their former owners.The owner of the first was both annoyed and worried.Often the parrot used bad words in the presence of his friends and this made him feel ashamed.He sought the advice of his friend,the owner of the pious parrot.It was decided to put the two parrots in the same cage so that the foul-mouthed bird might learn some nice words. But after a few days,they were shocked to find that even the pious parrot had started using bad words.
